The World Cup was a chance for South Africans to share the beauty of their country with the rest of the world. Most South Africans were anxious to show visitors that their country was not just one of guns and violence. While it was proven that you can be in South Africa for at least a month without being raped or pillaged, the show of peace was large upstaged by the vehement protest to the Vuvuzela, the now legendary horn that produced the bee swarm sounding backdrop to each game. How could we have known that the Vuvuzela would lead to the end of the worst environmental disaster the world has ever seen?

On Tuesday, protesters collected outside BP head quarters blowing the iconic South African horns en mass. This proved to be all BP needed to get them to act decisively. Later in the week the company announced they had managed to stem the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico bringing the environmental catastrophe to an end. This in turn, signaled the end of silent and ineffective protest to the heroic horn around the world . We now know that if you want something fixed, all you need to do is blow a Vuvuzela.
