Default Tragic shooting over vuvuzela

Quote:
A teenage football fan has been shot dead after irratating his neighbour by playing a vuvuzela.

I also think they are annoying.. and I may have even said I would like to shoot whoever is blowing those.. but I swear I didn't actually mean it.

He would always be blowing his vuvuzela, whether his team won or lost.
Thats the problem.

In the same week South African Yvonne Mayer from Cape Town ruptured her throat in a vuvuzela-blowing competition although doctors said she would not suffer any permanent damage.

These things are a menace!

He's not really dead. Once the ref blows the whistle and awards a penalty he'll bounce right back up.

From what I have read about South Africa, they normally dont need a reason to do something like this.

I once wanted to visit there, now after seeing some of the police traffic cam footage - not so much.

Ignorant question: How are vuvuzelas different from the plastic red horns in the Saddledome?

There should be a vuvuzela night at the Dome.

A) It'll annoy the road team.

B) The one lonely airhorn in the 300s is pretty depressing.
