The South African vuvuzela is a traditional noisemaking device that is used at sporting events. The noise maker is gaining a lot of attention at the current World Cup thanks to its ridiculously loud output. This tribute to the vuvuzela really encompasses all annoying noisemakers, and makes me look fondly back at my childhood years and all the birthday parties with noisemakers I attended.
I'm surprised those things still exist. Nevertheless, the South African vuvuzela is a constant source of pride--or annoyance.
