She just wants people to hear the peaceful tones of the vuvuzela! Is that so wrong?

I come to bury the vuvuzela, not praise it. The trumpet of South African cultural exceptionalism has died a plaintive death in the decade since it irritated billions of Fifa World Cup viewers. And now, in the age of Covid-19-infused fomites, the vuvuzela’s only legally and morally defensible purpose is to measure out a 2m gap.

The vuvuzela was billed as a celebration of South African attitude and spirit, providing the jubilant soundtrack of “Philip is here”. But in reality it was what is known in Yiddish as a meshuga – a weird, stubborn madness. Because let’s be honest here, nobody in their right minds actually likes the din of a vuvuzela in one’s ear – except the vuvuzealot who happens to be blowing one.

just because vuvuzelas make a horrible noise while spreading death and disease is no reason to stop using them.
