The Michael Jackson statue, located at Morro Dona Marta in Brazil, was the location for the video of MJ’s 1995 song ‘They Don’t Care About Us’ and has since been visited by hundreds of thousands of the singer’s fans – however, a post on Twitter of the statue went viral on Sunday, August 14.
The caption to the picture simply read: “Michael Jackson statue in Brazil,” but led to hundreds of comments and thousands of likes.
Comments ranged from support to ridicule of the statue.
“Wow they didn’t do a good job with the face LOL,” one person said.

The statue was inaugurated in 2010 in Santa Marta favela, a year after Jackson’s death and has since been the subject of multiple vandalisms.
