Vuvuzela on Plane – Do Not Blow

Posted by KAY-EL On May - 22 - 2010

Are Civil Aviation people crazy – who is going to blow their vuvuzelas on a plane anyway? Guess you’ve seen the Sowetan story “Vuvuzela on plane could land you in jail

When I read the headline – which is also misleading, I thought, now why can’t we take a vuvuzela on a  plane? But then I read further and realised that the Sowetan had just been messing  with out heads again – it had nothing to do with a Vuvuzela on a plane, it had to do with blowing a vuvuzela on a plane.

Vuvuzela Aboard a Flight

According to the Sowetan, using a vuvuzela aboard a flight could be seen as a criminal offence, according to terms of civil aviation legislation, and could land you in jail. This blatant bare faced lie, oops, information was printed in SAA’s on-board magazine, Sawubona.

I ask you with tears in my eyes, where would civil aviation have time to write special laws for vuvuzelas?

Civil Aviation Idiots

But have no fear, the Civil Aviation Idiots were all geared up for this, no matter that they lied in print – of course there is no legislation for vuvuzelas, and it must be common sense that anything that disrupts a flight and disturbs things on board a flight can be an offense.

“The maximum punishment for such an offence was six months in prison” – oooo! more bullsh#@$T scare tactics – how do they know what the offense is going to be that the “disruptive person” is going to be charged with – if it is a shoe bomber who blows a vuvuzela, will he get six months?

Vuvu Profiling

Is this going to be vuvu-profiling like the racial profiling? Are people with vuvuzela’s going to get bad service on planes because they are considered potential offenders. I mean all it needs is a puff and you’re in Suncity for six months – not the lekka one with the spa and golf course.

Rant over! I hate these kind of stupid, ignorant pieces of reporting and even more the oh no, they are going to put me in jail because there is vuvu-legislation. Do they think members of the public are idiots?

Why the Threats?

Why the threats? It would be so easy to make a little icon of a mouth blowing a vuvu and draw a diagonal red line though it. Let the mother grundies and the sound police then put these icons all over where no vuvuzela blowing is allowed.

Scary hey… we seem to have the old regime’s kragdadigheid and the ANC camp mentality deeply etched into our psyches. I often wonder, why can’t we do things without threatening people?
