The Vuvuzela Invades Google Street View

I reiterate my previous assertion that Google Street View was created for fun and fun alone. Google has added an awesome little Easter Egg to the service when one surfs through maps of South Africa: a vuvuzela clutched in peg man's hot little hands.

We already know that the South African instrument has taken the world by storm (whether the world likes it or not) -- hell, it's even invaded the Google-owned YouTube. Still, this has to be one of our personal favorite appearances by the honking horn (being that it's silent in this case).

Google also showed its excitement with regard to the World Cup by modifying its logo to read "Goooooooal!", but personally I'm more into the vuvuzela-themed fare. Sports events may come and go, but random viral memes are... well... similarly fleeting, but infinitely more enjoyable to those who don't get a kick out of footie.
