Ronaldo Statue "Semi Erect"

So the Cristiano Ronaldo statue was unveiled less than 12 hours ago, and it is already causing a lot of criticism, all round the world.

The main words on peoples lips are "Bulge" and "Semi" as it seems the statue has a little more than necessary in the "ball department"

Others are saying it is not a great likeness to him, while many locals are furious with the amount of money spent on the life sized bronze statue when people are still homeless from floods and fires from the last few years in Madeira, not to mention the amount of people who cant even afford to put a proper dinner on the table.
