Come Blow Your Horn, Just Not That One.


I know what you are thinking… Heidi took the picture.

Austria is banning the Vuvuzelas that invaded the Confederations Cup last month. That’s rich for a country known for the love of blowing giant horns! But it’s not the noise that the Austrians are worried about. One of their reasons is quite frankly bollocks. The other makes perfect sense.

So what’s the reason? Apparently the Austrian professional football league says that the famous bee sounding horns “can be used as projectiles. Furthermore, they can incite aggressive behaviour amongst other fans.

No shit…Right, on those grounds I demand that the foam finger also be outlawed as I was poked in the eye once while a small child celebrated a goal against Stockport County and I am sure that could also happen in Austria. Also they will need to ban tea, apart from being housed in a dangerous plastic missile, the t-bags can be thrown at players or security staff. Oh no people. I have seen it. QPR away, that’s what they got for selling the beverage cold!

In fact you would have to ban all items from coming in, money is a much more dangerous missile than a light weight plastic trumpet surely? Lets also ban that. Oh that’s right, no money? No beer, burgers, pies, or replica kits. can’t have that.


Culture? Not mine. I don’t want my elders to travel across the country for a visit, thanks!

While Austria are certainly creative with one of their excuses,(it’s a pretty shit missile) the second claim has validity. That’s ‘inciting aggressive behaviour’. The vuvuzela is as irritating as being sat on a bus full of mosquito’s while small children sing the hokey pokey with Elmo. These trumpets, horns, plastic demons need to be stopped. The one tone drone that emits from the nasty buggers would turn a saint to sin. Personally if I ever find myself next to someone who is blowing one, I will react with a violence usually reserved for an episode of Friday night Smackdown. If I had my way, I’d make the ban law. Offenders would be locked in a bee filled chamber while I practice heavy metal classics with a Kazoo. See how they like it, bastards.

Well done Austria. Let’s hope the rest of the World can follow suit.
