It appears the vuvuzela fad will not catch on at the All-England Club. Wimbledon organizers, who have been known to get their panties in a bunch before, made the announcement today.

“Out of courtesy to the players and their fellow spectators, we make a point of asking spectators not to bring items which could either cause a distraction or interfere with the enjoyment of the occasion,” All England Club chief executive Ian Ritchie said in a statement Thursday.
“Rattles, klaxons and vuvuzelas all fall into that category and they will not be allowed into the grounds. Our message is do not bring them in the first place.”

Ok, I’ll admit. The vuvuzelas were growing on me. But that’s not what upsets me here. I really wanted to perform a scientific experiment. Would female tennis grunters try to do outdo the vuvuzela?

If nothing else, it would have made Wimbledon that much more enjoyable. And frankly, tennis needs the ratings anyway.

This chick vs. vuvuzela, who you got?
