for those who were not aware of it, for a limited time only, under ALL (yes, ALL) youtube videos, on the bar where volume and other controls live, you will find a small button with a picture of a soccer ball.

Thanks -- I couldn't figure out what it was...just knew that it was a noisy little thing!  Canadians don't know all that much about soccer...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  Ha!  :penguinspin:

Welcome to the forum Anne! I don't know much about soccer either.

That's the sound of a vuvuzela.
Idea being, it blocks out anything you might want to hear.

from wikipedia: "The constant use of vuvuzelas during the World Cup introduced problems and criticism that resulted in the pursuit of solutions to communication difficulties and health concerns. ...Broadcasting organisations... experienced difficulties hearing the commentators' voices as they were drowned by the sound. Viewers heard only the sounds of the vuvuzelas."

I think we need some flag hats for falcon watching.

Gee, if we had a vuvuzela, we might not need walkie talkies :hysterical:

That's funny - I had watched about ten (out of hundreds) of those Hitler videos on different topics, some pretty amusing, but then I read that there had been a major copyright scandal around the use of that film clip and that there were to be no more Hitler spoofs using that scene.
I guess there are anyway! Nice silly one.

If you had vuvuzelas, you wouldn't need walkie-talkies, because the falcons would have headed for the hills and there'd be nothing to discuss.
