During the last match of the Pernambucano championship in Brazil, Sport Recife and Retro Futebol Clube faced each other for the Cup, but the protagonist was Pelé or rather the doll they used to represent it. The soccer star had his tribute and the news traveled the world due to a “design error” in the giant puppet that later became the material of memes.
Surely the organizers of the tournament did not think that paying a tribute to Edson Arantes Do Nascimento would end with such worldwide repercussions. The kick-off ceremony for such a match ended up being the subject of criticism and ridicule.
Pelé passed away last year due to complications from colon cancer. In his tribute, the players from both teams made a circle in the middle of the field, where a giant doll appeared that represented the silhouette of the Brazilian star.
Considering the symbolism that was behind the celebration and the latent emotion 4 months following the loss of the Brazilian, the users of social networks had no mercy and made known their opinions regarding the puppet, which caused laughter, anger and even even fear in some people.
From the beginning and following the first images of the doll went viral, network users criticized the doll’s face because it did not look like Pelé’s and because the body looked disproportionate, because the hands of the person who handled it might be seen. .
In addition, the man who was located inside the figure stuck his head out from under the clothes, which made it appear that the costume had the pants zipper open, the target of several jokes. Although those present on the court applauded in honor of Pelé, users, especially from Brazil, criticized the design of the puppet.
“They forgot to tell Pelé that his fly was open”, “With all due respect to Pelé, what an ugly doll”, “I assumed this was the work of a drunk artificial intelligence”, “What is that?”, “That gives fear”, were some of the comments of those who were surprised by the representation of Pelé in the form of a doll.
