Marlins giving away 15,000 vuvuzela-like horns for baseball game

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Miami -- Like it or not, the sound of the World Cup is coming to Florida Marlins baseball.

The Marlins are giving away 15,000 air horns to fans at Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The horns are smaller, but similar to a vuvuzela, the noisemaker that's caused all the controversy at the World Cup.

The Marlins say this promotion has been in the works for months, thinking it will be a hit in soccer-mad South Florida.

Not every other sports venue is so keen on the horn craze. A fan was asked to leave a New York Yankees game this week for blaring a vuvuzela, and Wimbledon has issued reminders that the noisemakers won't be allowed for its tournament starting Monday.

wtf? Why are y'all mad? It's a cultural tradition of floridians since time immemorial.


It's going to spread.

You know its' going to spread.

A vuvuzela here, a vuvuzela there.

And soon an epidemic of bzzzzzzzzzzzttt-ing.

I predict the vuvuzelas to replace whistles and airhorns at raves and clubs.

It is the beginning of the end.

And it all started in...

l defending vuvuzela's at the WC

Where's "WC?" I've only heard a few horns at college football bowl games, rarely, they are not cultural in Florida, period

world cup. south africa. Yes, it was a joke. Just because it's 'cultural' doesn't make it any less annoying or acceptable imo. it just says to me "we've been annoying for many generations" - give it time, american spectators will join in and the vuvuzela will become very popular, particularly among the SWPL crowd (if it hasn't already).

My son has two of them (red and a blue) for about 5 years now. He got them when we went to a Daytona Cubs game so them giving them away is nothing new at a baseball game. I hate the damn things myself, but they do have a way of making people jump when they least expect it
