PBA is doing anything they can to be controversial I guess.  Reminded me of the World Cup.  I turned it off.

Thank you for posting this. I am so aggrevated trying to watch the show. It has been a good tournie and I cannot even enjoy it because of those stupid horns. If I was in the audience, I might be smashing those things. Good job PBA in making a good tournie impossible to watch, well listening to.

Maybe it was a good thing that I didn't go there to watch the match. Those horns were annoying when the World Cup was on. Just hearing them on tv is bad enough, but imagine being right there and someone is blowing one behind you. I'm surprised the bowlers can concentrate with that noise constantly going on.

Seiously PBA....what the.....

 

With all of the complaints about the annoyance of them during the World Cup....the PBA thinks it's a good idea to bring them indoors.....

Shame on the PBA for bowling during a vuvuzela concert! How will the vuvuzela ever gain respect as an instrument if they can't be allowed to have a concert?

Always be sincere, even when you don't mean it

These horns basically wrecked the first part of the show for me, just like they wrecked the World Cup matches.  Who in the h*ll at the PBA could have possibly thought this was a good idea?  Very, very distracting from the telecast and commentary, and horribly obnoxious (I'd bet) for people sitting around these.  I won't keep watching much longer if they keep letting those things in during the telecast.  Whoever at the PBA came up with this "great" idea should have one of those horns rudely inserted where the sun doesn't shine.

This was the 1st time I've actually turned the volume down to watch a telecast.  It was a little annoying to listen to, but the bowling made up for it.

The vuvuzelas were a blast for those of us who where there supporting the PBA and the bowlers were getting a kick out of them.

As I said in the other thread, the PBA must be in dire straits if they have to resort to that. Those damn horns are even more annoying than Rob Stone.

I missed the show, and it appears that, for the first time in my memory, I'm GLAD that I missed a telecast of the PBA.

 

 I can only imagine what Brad Angelo would've done if he'd had to bowl while that was going on.

 

 If this is what the PBA is all about now, just shoot the da*m thing in the head and let it die NOW.

 

 Vuvuzelas?  WTF?  Just stupid.

I agree the horns were obnoxious.  However, I thought "Dick" Allen was also obnoxious.  If he wants to be called "Dick" I think he earned the name.

I was at the show and the back story is that  the producers of the show told the crowd in the begining that the most rowdy fans would win a free bowling ball at the end of the show.  Hence, everybody was going nuts blowing them  throughtout the telecast including the 12 year old kid two rows behind me that was sure that if he blew his vuvuzela after every shot that he would stand a chance of winning a bowling ball.

 

By the end of the telecast, there were more than a few of us that would have loved to suggest to the producers a much different use for the vuvuzelas..  ;-).
