Vuvuzela fevor is at an all time high as the World Cup prepares for its final game on Sunday. It was surprising, to me at least, that more celebrities hadn’t gotten in on some plastic horn action, but we should consider Leonardo DiCaprio a visionary in that field. Leo and geriatric rock star Mick Jagger shared a box for Saturday’s Germany-Argentina match, throughout which Leo was making melodic music.

If you’ve been watching the World Cup, you’re no doubt familiar with the annoying drone of the vuvuzelas. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Every second of every game. It’s almost unwatchable here back in the States. Well apparently Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t get the message. He was blowing a vuvuzela like crazy during Saturday’s Germany-Argentina match. Dammit, I used to like this guy, too. A lot. Which makes it all the more painful for me to wish him a spectacular, fiery death. –Celebslam

There are more pictures of Leo at Celebslam, if that’s your sort of thing. Personally, I don’t think I could ever be mad at DiCaprio. I’m a big fan of Shutter Island, and Inception looks like the best acid trip movie since Tron. Not to mention that he got his start on Growing Pains. How he was able to stand the smugness of Alan Thicke on a daily basis is beyond me. Video evidence after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s a dog sharing a bit of nose space with a vuvuzela, and he’s none too happy about it. Fortunately for him, he’s a dog, and fortunately for us, someone decided to roll a camera while taking time to have a little fun with their animal.

But the shoe’s on the other paw now, as this crafty canine … look, he craps on the rug, okay? Ha ha, you’re so clever, dog. That carpet looked pretty expensive, too. Hopefully they’ll have hidden that stupid plastic horn by the time the carpet cleaners show up. Poop humor awaits you after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Awwww yeah! It’s time for another WORLD CUPDATE! You didn’t ask for it, you don’t want it, but it’s here anyway, just like your herpes. Go ahead and be annoyed with the soccer coverage, but at least THIS only flares up every four years.

With group play not even one-third finished, the biggest story of the World Cup continues to be the omnipresent buzz of vuvuzelas during matches. While modern science has found a way to cancel the noise out, the Internet has embraced the plastic horn as if it were a Japanese dog riding a bicycle. This collection could be just the beginning — we’ve got another four weeks until the tournament’s over.

Unfortunately for purposes of humor, the games aren’t decided by horns and Photoshop. In fact, many of the games haven’t been decided at all, with a prevalence of draws in the first cycle of games. Yesterday offered two more: a 1-1 final for New Zealand-Slovakia that featured a dramatic goal in stoppage time to salvage the Kiwis’ first-ever World Cup point, and a scoreless draw between Portugal and the Ivory Coast that was memorable only for the uninspired play and terrible officiating of Jorge Larrionda, the same ref who butchered the USA-Italy atrocity in 2006. It was a lousy start for Group G, the so-called “Group of Death,” which should have changed the BZZZZZZ of vuvuzelas to simply ZZZzzzz.
