Vuvezela

[Potticus]

Insurance saleswoman Yvonne Mayer, 29, was unable to speak or eat for two days after ripping her windpipe when she blew the three foot horn during a street party in Cape Town.

The next day shocked doctors diagnosed her with a ruptured throat and ordered her to rest it completely to allow it to heal.

The bizarre injury is the first known vuvuzela-related accident since the World Cup kicked off last week.

Yvonne, from Cape Town, said: 'I had never blown a vuvuzela before but was given one at work and was going to watch the first South Africa match so thought I'd take it along.

'I was walking towards the Fan Park in Cape Town and blowing it as hard as I could when suddenly my throat started to hurt.

'At first I thought I'd gone down with a bug but the next day it was worse.

'When I went to the doctor he took a look and then laughed.

Her throat must be weak if the pressure from blowing would rip it open...

Well, that's not very professional to do when your patient's ruptured her throat.

Vuvuzelas are awesome, the bee atmosphere makes the game exciting.

 

[Wii_Manic]

Im not a big fan of football, but when it sounds like giant mutant wasps are flying round the stadium that makes it much more exciting !

[Canonbeat234]

Hell fucking nah! That shit was annoying when I tried to watch the World Cup soccer game, only to find that annoying 'buzzing' sound in the background. SCREW THOSE HORN SUMMONING OF BUZZINESS!

So blowing one can be dangerous? Having your mate blow in your ear can be dangerous too.

On an unrelated note, I propose vuvuzela bagpipes.

"And I sat among the fans in the stadium,
and saw a beast rise up out of a seat,
having a bloated tartan body and ten horns,
and upon its horns ten fluted openings,
and upon his heads the name of cacophony"

[Talaria]

Heh, I keep thinking there is a horde of Killer Bees hovering above the stadium ready to pounce at any moment. Perhaps she got stung in the throat?

 

[Rizsparky]

Vuvezela's are the most annoying thing mankind has ever created...........

 

[Bladexdsl]

Perhaps she got stung in the throat?

maybe it was a SWALLOW?

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm an American.

Do all World Cup events have those stupid horns, or is it just for South Africa? Will they be back in 2012, heralding the end of the world in droning b-flat?
