WoZela: Return Of The Dreaded Vuvuzela

But with a catch: this time it’s about finding a use which doesn’t include making one’s ears bleed.

A competition, WoZela!, was launched to find the best creative use of the vuvuzela, and the grand prize was announced today.

The winning design probably had a helping hand in its method of construction, maybe even more so than its final product. It involves the cutting to pieces of a vuvuzela, which is music to the ears of many the world over. (Sorry.)

This is the grand prize: hoop earrings made from a number of the cuts.

Some are more useful for the grand scheme, like this idea for irrigating crops….

…or planting the crops in the first place…

…while others are less useful, like this one for irrigating…yourself. (The aptly named ‘Boozela’.)

I’m guessing the last one comes in a two-fer package with this splashback guard.

No matter the scenario, even when trying to turn evil into good, pee jokes are never far behind.

The future is bright.


What’s Domenech Up To These Days?

You know, aside from suing the bejeezus out of the FFF for his €2.9m in what he thinks is owed salary.

Turns out he's been in hanging in Thailand since his minor faux pas known as Sept. '06-June '10 (does he even get a smidge of credit for WC06 or is that all Zidane by now?) in another unapologetic cash grab; honing his skills, perfecting his art, becoming one with the poker table. Clearly an advertisement, but it's plausible he spent the last few months hiding out in the jungles of Southeastern Asia.

But you wonder how on earth could a brand think that using Rayray as a spokesman would reflect positively upon itself at this point. Or does the betting industry not even care? The more villainous the better.
