Why must we unlock the dreaded uncanny valley every time we create the likeness of a famous person?tarzoom homo eroticic
Making someone's face out of clay or bronze is not an easy feat — but that clearly hasn't stopped some artists from showing off their questionable direction to millions of people worldwide.

When the bust of Ronaldo was unveiled at the eponymous Cristiano Ronaldo Airport in Madeira, Portugal fans were uh, not exactly thrilled. With beady little eyes and a scrunched up face, this sculpture looked like someone abused the "Pinch" tool in Photoshop. This bust will live on permanently in the terminal to haunt flight-goers.

This tribute to acclaimed comedic actress Lucille Ball probably inspired many a "Don't blink!" Doctor Whojoke. The bronze statue was privately commissioned in Ball's hometown of Celoron, New York and was known by the terrorized locals as "Scary Lucy." Don't worry — she's since been replaced.

Rebel Without a Cause? More like Rebel Without Any Eyes.I'm pretty sure this teen heartthrob was not making movie-goers swoon with a Michael Myers-looking face. This gorgeous bust looks down upon the Griffith Park Observatory, which was used for the shooting of Rebel.

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was pretty awkwardly honored in a tribute ceremony held in his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington in 2014. Known to the town as the "Crying Cobain" for its signature solitary tear, this sad Jesus-looking statue currently resides in the town's museum.

While we just got a beautiful Google Doodle tribute to the late, great Steve Irwin, other attempts have arguably missed the mark. Maybe it's the creepy eyes, or the shape of the face that can't muster the same joy the man brought to animal lovers everywhere.

This one is technically part of an art series called "False Idol", created by provocative street artist Plastic Jesus. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporterin 2017, he says the piece was inspired by the way the media treats West. But how about the way he treated Yeezy's face in this one? Ouch.

The Santa Marta community in Brazil has a proud connection with Michael Jackson — it's where he and Spike Lee filmed his famous music video for "They Don't Care About Us." After he passed in 2009, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro immediately announced a memorial for the King of Pop. Maybe it was the quick timing, but this likeness just isn't all that likable. In fact, it's downright creepy.
Wearing tight leggings and pointing fingers? Definitely not the King's signature style. While we can't deny that Elvis' persona was larger-than-life, the world's largest Elvis statue maybe should've toned it down a little. This statue currently resides outside an Elvis-themed cafe in Jerusalem, although there are sadly no peanut butter and banana sandwiches on the menu.

This 18-karat gold pretzel of a Kate Moss statue was displayed in the British Museum amongst statues of Greek goddesses in 2008. The artist Mark Quinn says that Kate "very much loved it" and "thinks it lifts into her into a mythical level." We're not sure if being immortalized in the most uncomfortable-looking position ever is god-like, but good on her.

In 2012, Beckham teamed up with H&M for a marketing campaign to promote his underwear line. Several giant silver statues of the famous football star popped up in H&M locations around the U.S., however, these statues featured Beckham's crotch at face height, conveniently leading to many interesting photo opportunities. I know that this is exactly what their marketing team wanted, but can we stop making celebrity statue bulges so prominent?
From the terrifying, to the head-scratching, to the just downright weird, these celebrity statues will never cease to give us laugh.
