Vuvuzelas making a comeback, at C'wealth Games

NEW DELHI, Sept 29 (AP): The Commonwealth Games could end up sounding an awful lot like the football World Cup.
Vuvuzelas, the long plastic horns that created a constant din at games during this year's World Cup in South Africa, are on sale in New Delhi, and they have been selling steadily ahead of the Oct. 3-14 games.
Loved by some and despised by others, the vuvuzela was a constant topic of conversation in South Africa. While the South African football fans embraced the atmosphere it made at games across the country, many broadcasters and viewers from abroad complained that the drone disrupted the enjoyment of watching games on television. The debate hasn't deterred Commonwealth Games organizers in the Indian capital.
