I just came across these videos: Number 13 in a humorous–and of course very ethnocentric–series of Youtube videos made in the UK entitled “World Cup 2010 Most Shocking Moments.”
‘Let’s pray that this is one bit of culture that won’t make it out of Africa’

Somebody said last year that the only sound more annoying than vuvuzela is the sound people complaining about it. This video provides further evidence to that. And why is it that every person who says that it sounds exactly like bees thinks that they are the first person to, not just say it, but also to think about it.
I enjoyed the “it destroys the natural soundtrack of the game” remark. Since almost all of my professional soccer watching has happened in South Africa, I think of the vuvuzela AS the natural soundtrack of the game.
