Do they really think this will work?

Weird news of the day from USAToday: Radio Shack, which is a U.S. based company by the way, is selling voodoo dolls to Mexican consumers to use against U.S. soccer players.

The Mexican fans are showing their support by mangling the dolls in hopes of giving the Mexican team a leg up and ending a streak of losses.

My first question is: why is Radio Shack, which typically sells electronics, selling these in the first place? Next, shouldn't a U.S. company be showing support for their own country's sports (rather than creating depictions of U.S. players designed for brutal torture)? Weird. Enjoy!
