2. Some bored hack (in this case at the BBC website) has some column inches to fill.
3. He scratches his head and wonders what's topical.
4. He notices the super soaraway Sun is giving a Vuvuzelas away with every copy of the paper today.
5. He decides to phone the All England and ask them if they're going to ban Vuvuzelas.
6. Wimbledon points out that it already has rules about noisy items being brought in.
7. Hey presto, Wimbledon is 'cracking down' on Vuvuzelas.

Nothing to see here.
I'm looking forward to the first "Funeral director cracks down on vuvuzelas" story.
