The Humble Vuvuzela: Africa's gift to football?

Listening to a BBC podcast about the effect of the World Cup on South Africa, and what Africa brings to football... the number one thing that people said Africa had contributed to football was the vuvuzela which was also described as annoying, deafening and atmosphere nullifying.

Personally, I can't stand them. They drown out everything from the manager instructions to player calls to the organic ebbs and flows of the crowd. Even when watching on TV they seem to drown out the commentary.

For me, if I was watching as a neutral that didn't watch much football I would be extremely put off.

Is the Vuvuzela a help or a hindrance on the game?
