Love or Hate the vuvuzela? Here’s a T-shirt for you …

So there’s at least another ninety minutes of nail-biting misery to come and on Sunday there will either be a vuvuzela chorus through the streets of the UK or a deathly silence …
I know which side of the equation I fall on, but are you a vuvuzela hater or a vuvuzela lover? Either way, caughtoffside.com has a T-shirt to make your opinion known.
While we’re on the subject, there’s controversy about the origins of vuvuzela – some say it’s the kudu horn that was blown to summon African villagers to meetings, but one company that supplies the vuvuzela says this is all rubbish: they claim that the original vuvuzela actually came into Africa from America via the fans of a female Chinese basketball team. There are similar arguments about how the name came about – one claim is that it’s from isiZulu for making noise, while others say township slang for the word ‘shower’, either because it ‘showers people with music’ or because it looks a bit like a shower head.
Whatever. I’d rather wear a picture of one than have to blow one, and that’s a fact.
