THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING YOU WILL SEE TODAY

Awful Beckham statue unveiled in Iran






You might have thought the Michael Jackson statue outside of Fulham's Craven Cottage ground was bad - but surely it is an artistic masterpiece compared to this wax sculpture of David Beckham unveiled in Iran.

Yes, that right - we did say David Beckham. For the sculpture on the left of the picture really is meant to be the English football superstar.

The Beckham piece, which bizarrely stands beside a not-quite-as-bad-but-still-terrible recreation of former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, can be found at the Saint Petersburg's museum in the Niavaran Cultural Centre in northern Tehran.

Why Beckham has been done up to look like Liam Neeson's Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn character from Star Wars we have no idea, but hey - at least it is different.

Have another look at the Beckham likeness below and tell us if you can see any similarities whatsoever between it and Golden Balls.

Was that made by Stevie Wonder?

Most likely by Stefan Raab!

But it could also be by Stevie Wonder. It's beautiful like that... :D

In all fairness the statue looks good. I wonder who the model is. Heh.

[identity profile] lady-teazle.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy hell.... I guessed Oliver Kahn for the other statue & was surprised to be right. Amazing, in a horrible kind of way.
