What could possibly detract from the honour of having an airport named after you?
Well, when said airport also reveals a bust that looks little to nothing like you as part of the ceremonial package, that's what.
And that's exactly what happened to Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo when the international airport on Madeira unveiled the tribute to the island's superstar player.

The Internet has been quick to mock the botched bronze likeness with face swaps, Photoshops, and more 'accurate' comparisons.
Here at DesignCrowd, we thought it would be funny to see how our creative community could turn other celebrity faces into modern and somewhat more realistic memorials.
Whether it's bronze busts or stone statues, there have been dozens of ideas submitted to the community contests on DesignCrowd, and previously Worth1000.com, over the years.
Scroll down to check out some of our favourites.
And if you're keen to learn how to create these effects, check out the tutorial on turning people into stone statues or this one on turning people to rock.
