To Ms. Rita Benson LeBlanc: a modest proposal borrowed from the #WorldCup

the Vuvuzela horn

Dear Ms. Rita Benson-Leblanc:

New Orleanians are not strangers to the Vuvuzela horn. The plastic horn that you hear people blowing at the soccer matches in South Africa this month is sold by countless street vendors during every parade at Carnival time in the city and the suburbs. They often disappoint kids along the parade route, however, because they have to be played like a real horn (trumpet, trombone, etc.), and if a parent doesn't know how, the gift is a bust. Still, there's no better way to piss off the obnoxious people with the three ladders and a bad attitude next to you on the neutral ground than to get your kid a vuvuzela.

They're loud. They're noisy. In large numbers, they make a sound as if a swarm of bees signaling the apocalypse has descended on a stadium.

And that's why they're perfect for Da Dome.

Miss Rita, please consider this suggestion: Order 60,000 vuvuzela horns, half in black and half in yellow, for each Saints home game. Get a sponsor for them, no doubt CapitalOne, Bud, or another big company will buy into this idea.

Can you imagine that bee-swarm sound in Da Dome? If that doesn't send Brett Favre into permanent retirement, nothing will.

Love,
YatPundit
