If you liked the vuvuzela, you'll love the caxirola!

Yup, Brazil has its very own noisemaker.

It has been likened to a hand grenade with brass knuckles, ridiculed as a "glorified rattle," and dismissed by one British sportswriter as "rubbish."

Meet the caxirola, Brazil's answer to the vuvuzela, the elongated plastic horn that sounded like a bellicose water buffalo and was unleashed on mankind's eardrums during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

"If you thought vuvuzelas were bad, wait until you hear the caxirola," groused the Guardian newspaper in Britain....

Despite the noisemaker being blessed by some, including Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff, and an endorsement by FIFA, soccer's world governing body, federal officials have barred the caxirola from all 12 of the Brazilian soccer grounds where World Cup matches will be played.

1. I thought the South African World Cup match had been invaded by giant bees

I don't think they helped make a good first impression to newbie viewers. Besides, caxirolas are easier to throw at someone.

2. Not as nearly annoying as the vuvuzela IMO

I'd take them over that awful Atlanta Tomahawk chant too!
