Remember the voodoo doll that caused such a stir down in Mexico? The one that Mexican fans were supposed to poke with pins to help Mexico beat the United States?
Today, the doll met Landon Donovan.
Yes, that is a picture of Donovan from Tuesday's press conference, being shown the voodoo doll by a Mexican journalist (who happened to be from the Mexican newspaper that sponsored the doll giveaway. I know, shocking). Donovan held the doll, observed it, and when asked to pose with it, he declined and chose instead to toss it aside playfully. He isn't a big believer in voodoo.
So there is the picture. Now it's your turn to write the caption to go with this photo. The best caption submitted will earn the entrant a free t-shirt from SBI Sponsor Objectivo Apparel. And no, I didn't forge about the Beckham YWTC, that one is coming, but I had to do this one.
Fire away folks. Let's hear some good ones.
“The rumours of Landon having a fetish for small redhead vodoo dolls = true”
(source:tv azteca)
“They are going to need a bigger one then this to beat us”
“You made a scale model of me out of human hair? That’s uh, touching.”
“What would Luca Toni do?”
Sure I remember Abel, we were teammates all last year.
The Mexicans are so red with envy that they confused me with Lalas.
Has Carrot Top signed off on this?
it’s great you made my jersey number 2-0 rather than the usual 10
My arm! my arm is gone, put it back you bastard!
“Hey, that’s the same way I got Lalas fired.”
“You guys know that Lalas isn’t on our National team anymore, right?”
“See, it’s you, and right here is where I stuck the pin so you won’t urinate on Estadio Jalisco anymore.”
See, the carpet matches the drapes…
I see Luis Hernandez died his hair again…
“What is this?? A press conference for ants? Reporters need to be at least . . . three times that size!”
Donavon: “Instead of playing with dolls, maybe you should focus on how to stop me from scoring on you.”
*In thick Ivan Drago accent* “I piss on this, just like training pitch in Mexico.”
does it come in pink?
“Is this how big I look to the Bayern players?”
Donovan tries his hardest not to break out in a giggle as he curiously thinks to himself, “I wonder if the carpet matches the drapes.”
Who is this doll supposed to be? Alexi Lalas?
“Vodoo?? I don’t believe in Vodoo…but I do believe in this…”
Looks like Mexico forgot that Lalas and Jones retired from the USMNT as they attempt to excise loses through a voodoo doll.
I thought voodoo was Haitian?
or
No sir, I don’t think voodoo economics will fix the US.
Ruud? Is that you? Did you dye your hair red?
Say hello to my little friend…
“Oh, so someone attatched a pair of testicles to this voodoo doll of me and THAT’S what made me want to go play in Europe Again!”
Donavan examines it, thinking it is a demo of the new USA Uniform. “What is this a jersey for ants, it needs to be at least 3 times as big”.
You shouldn’t take things off Sven’s desk.
“Landon Donovan learns that practice time spent playing with dolls is why the Mexican National Team has struggled recently against the USMNT.”
Looks like the next public health scare created by a Mexico made product…
Landycakes: “Where was this Alexi doll when he was trying to sign Becks??!!”
“Umm, yes, it does look like Franck Ribery.”
