Swaziland is a small, landlocked country in South Africa, where apparently players feel compelled to rip the artificial turf out of their only futbol stadium so they can hide stupid little trinkets under the field. And we wonder why those idiots are dirt poor. From Y! News (thanks, Vince)

Traditional rituals meant to help teams win their games saw the 600,000-dollar turf ripped up over the last month so the muti could be planted underneath, with the damage especially bad by the goals and at centrefield.

“This turf is hardly a year old,” Magagula told AFP. “Maybe we have to consider banning [the] one big team [responsible] because whenever that team would be playing at the stadium something strange would happen at the stadium.”

Swaziland has a GDP per capita is about $5,500 per year, but apparently you can’t put a price on good fortune. Or an AIDS vaccine.
