Ever since the start of this FIFA World championship I’ve been annoyed by the constant vuvuzela buzz that’s heard during each and every match (good thing I’m not really following all of them). I don’t see the point of the buzzing, and I think that even if the vuvuzela horn is part of the South African local culture, abusing it that does more harm than good. I mean, who will have positive thoughts when they hear the word vuvuzela in the future? I certainly won’t, and I’m pretty sure most of the the world won’t either.
But anyway, UPI writes that a Texas man has admitted to striking and killing his toddler stepdaughter because she was crying while he was watching the World Cup. Horrible, horrible thing.
They don’t write anything that connects his actions to the vuvuzela buzz specifically, but it could be related, even if only slightly, right? Perhaps some research into the psychological effects of vuvuzela noise is needed. Who knows, maybe it brings out the anger in angry people or something.
