Radio Shack cancels voodoo campaign against U.S. soccer

MEXICO CITY -- Radio Shack has withdrawn from a Mexican newspaper's promotional campaign inviting fans to prick voodoo dolls to boost the nation's soccer team in an upcoming match against the United States. <br /> <br /> The Forth Worth, Texas-based company said in a statement that it wishes ``the very best of luck'' to Mexico, the U.S. and all teams in the final round of regional qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. <br /> <br /> Mexican sports daily Record confirms that it was notified Wednesday of Radio Shack's withdrawal. <br /> <br /> Record marketing manager Daniel Paz says the decision was a ``surprise.'' The paper plans to continue the promotion and is looking at possible other partners.
