How is this Rendition of Cristiano Rinaldo Even Possible? Mar 29, 2017 10:45:26 GMT -5

OK, I think most people here would agree with me that Cristiano Rinaldo is one of the most gorgeous soccer players to grace the field. Evidence here: www.google.com/search?q=cristiano+ronaldo&safe=active&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj6o4XjhvzSAhWpj1QKHQs0AYQQ_AUIBygC&biw=1264&bih=568

But take a look at the bust of him unveiled at Madeira Airport and the hilarious Twitter reactions to it:

I don't know how the sculptor ended up with those features, because they just aren't Ronaldo's, at all. It is a remarkable failure, imo.

I know nothing about either Cristiano Rinaldo or his bust, but I'd suggest to understand how this happened, follow the money. The sculptor's probably somebody's second cousin.

It looks like Jimmy Carter after he got caught reading a Playboy.

I mean, at some point the artist who created this monstrosity must have said, "Yeah, that's it, that's good, I'm finished." That's Gary Busey not Brandy Chastain, ffs!

Dear God. Why are his arms and legs so tiny? And why does this happen to famous soccer players?

I also want to update the Rinaldo bust story. This is a great little documentary about it and the artist and how things played out. Made me feel really bad for making fun of it.

What do you all think of the second bust?
