The Horn That Was
Heard Around The World...
Heard Around The World...
Clearly!
The vuvuzela story amazes me. This is a classic story on the power of mass media. How long has soccer been around? How long has South Africa been around? Yet, when the World Cup stage merged with South Africa, we all inevitably learn the South Africans are vuvuzela crazed.
Have you ever heard about that dratted "instrument" before the 2010 World Cup? I never.
Now, the vuvu fever comes to America. I knew some hungry individuals will try. These individuals generally hold sales, marketing, capitalists, and wildcatters titles. ;-)
Here's the Vuvu news so far.
Florida Marlins - Sat, June 19th the Florida Marlins booted out their long standing cow bell and instead gave a vuvu to the first 15,000 attendees of the baseball game. What were they thinking?! Click to hear. And hear.
Marlin Cow Bell
A Yankee fan brings his World Cup (ironic that he did not get to go) souvenir to the game, blows it, and gets ousted.
Wimbledon officials have decreed their venue a horrid noise free zone. That's right. They issued a preemptive ban against that racket. In summary, NO vuvus!
World Cup 2010 doesn't end until July 11th folks. We are a little over 1.5 weeks into the event. Do you know what that means? It's going to be a very interesting next couple of weeks.
Oh, and by the way, the vuvuzela is here to stay.
