Voodoo SoccerIsn’t Blockbuster a US company? Showing just how US companies don’t give a crap about the United States, Blockbuster has hexed the United States national soccer team. Just what those overachieving Americans did to Blockbuster, who knows. Maybe they all subscribe to Netflix.

Anyway, back to the hex. Mexico plays the US for the World Cup qualifier Wednesday. And no, it’s not in Mexico City or anything . . . it’s in Columbus, Ohio. And Blockbuster is handing out voodoo dolls, the likeness of the US soccer players, with “Gringos” on the back of the jersey. And it has instructions:

“Hold a needle firmly between your thumb and index finger and prick slowly the part of the doll where you want to affect the opponent.”

Can you imagine all the writhing US soccer players on Wednesday? I might just have to tune in.
