Ronaldo's bust gets ruthless meme treatment
The naming of an international airport in Cristiano Ronaldo's native Madeira Islands was quickly overshadowed by a ghastly sight.
The ceremony was a seemingly joyous event for those in attendance, but quickly spiralled out of control when the world got a glimpse of a disturbing bust of the Real Madrid star.
As the internet is wont to do during such occasions, there was no shortage people lampooning the design with an almost endless supply of memes:
