The vuvuzela discriminates against smokers

Posted June 16, 2010 by Jacques Rousseau

Arguments in favour of the vuvuzela seem to rely on little more than prejudice, as well as on a notable deficit in common sense. It isn’t at all obvious that the vuvuzela is part of our culture – and even if it was, it’s hardly clear that it should be.

You don’t need a vuvuzela for gees – we’ve gotten along fine without it for quite some time. In fact, it’s not really part of our culture, is it?
