The Craziest World Cup Fans (PHOTOS)

Huffington Post     First Posted: 06/19/10 10:45 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 05:50 PM ET

With the matches in full swing, World Cup fever couldn't be at a higher pitch. While the anticipation of the next "Gooooooal" has everyone on the edge of their seats, the game wouldn't be nearly as exciting if it weren't for its raucous fans. Donning borderline-scary masks, costumes that seem completely out of context, pounds of face paint, and of course vuvuzelas, these football fanatics are what really makes the World Cup the spectacle that it is. Check out some of the craziest fans we could find below, and vote for your favorite!

I thought so too, no. 10 should be ranked second.

Is there a app that will filter out that vuvuSarahPalinZela whine?

Speaking of face paint, have you checked out Soccer Face? It's an iPhone app for World Cup fanatics that lets you "paint" your face with the country flag of your choice, give yourself a black eye, get a yellow card for your troubles and then brag about it to your friends via email or facebook. Check it out; it's pretty cool http://bit.ly/bEEvdD

The vuvuzela is being utilized by the CIA to test mind control on a massive scale. The messages being transmitted are subliminal and coded deep within the ubiquitous drone. I was watching Brazil v. North Korea when I discovered the key to unlocking the code. First: turn up the volume on your TV until the the hairs on the back of your arm stand up. Next: close your eyes to block out any exterior distractions and focus your complete attention on the buzzing cacophony until all other noise is excluded (including the commentators). Tap your foot to a slow but steady 4 count and gradually speed up. If done correctly the secret instructions will form an identifiable prosodic contour - in this case four simple syllables. The test message being broadcast throughout every match in the tournament (thus far) is: watch/ more/ base/ ball.

I believe that the government is exploiting this opportunity to test the vuvuzela as a possible masking agent in concert with more advanced mind control technology. Proof of the experiment's efficacy may lie in the fact that after 10 minutes I experienced an irresistible compulsion to switch channels and watch baseball - interleague baseball!

NEXT: Is FIFA the unwitting dupe of the CIA/MLB/ESPN triad and how much does Obama know?

I like the one of Prince Charles with Camilla. Very close likenesses.

yeah I think they look stupid, but they are there partying while i'm at home going to work everyday. Bet if you ask them they will think we are the stupid ones. Look at the pictures again, it looks like they are having a blast, are you?
