The Outlaw Jozy Altidore

By now, everyone's seen teen phenom Jozy Altidore's "IMpossible is nothing" Adidas spot. In it, he starts out by saying that, when he was 5, he kicked the ball so hard that parents were worried he'd hurt the other kids. So, he had to play with older kids.

But you wonder how the parents of the 8 year olds felt when Jozy shoots his ball through their children's sternum-- definitely a mortal blow: in the commercial, a cartoon Altidore kicks the ball through three cartoon defenders to score a goal.

At least there was no Doom-style splatter.
