Vuvuzelas invade YouTube

Vuvuzela
 

Oh YouTube… not you too.

The Vuvuzela – which has sprung to fame thanks to the World Cup – has popped up on the viral video service, bringing its droning angry buzz sound with it. A new button slipped onto the site’s videos recently, letting masochists add the sound to videos they watch.

To add it, look for a soccer ball icon to the right of the resolution settings. Click it and – well, brace yourself.

Need a sample? Here’s a behind the scenes video Pixar put out about the making of “Toy Story 3”. See if you can make out anything that’s being said once your click the soccer ball.

(Note: This is likely a short term promotion that may disappear with as little warning as it appeared – so enjoy it while you can.)
