This Princess Diana "Memorial" Is the Stuff of Nightmares
Every once in a while, there comes a well-meaning attempt at art that goes so horribly wrong, it becomes a genius masterpiece that must be immediately preserved via meme for posterity. The Room is one such example. Ecce Homo, aka Potato Jesus, the 2012 restoration of a fresco of Jesus Christ botched (or perfected???) by an elderly amateur artist in Spain is another.

The inevitable pop culture comparisons are already rolling in from the art fans on Twitter and the resemblances are uncanny. Like, seriously uncanny.

Also, apparently hilariously unflattering tributes to Princess Diana is a thing, because of course it is.
SHUDDER. Terrifying, yet somehow mesmerizing. Overly ambitious amateur artists of the world, please never stop doing you.
