The artist Antonio Lopez completed painting the official, life-size portrait of the Spanish royal family only to learn that King Felipe VI rejected the portrait as being too flattering and totally inaccurate.

The artist Antonio Lopez took a full 20 years to complete the official portrait of the Spanish royal family, and although King Felipe VI was pleased with the result, he did think it was a little outdated! Was Lopez paid by the hour?

An official government " Place of Shame " has been started in CHina. People can post complaints and pictures on a public website about people that have upset them in any way. However, if they post their complaints on the site, they forfeit the right to take their offender to court.

CRAP
It's called The Wall of Shame, and it's not a website, but a huge, public digital billboard-like screen that displays pictures, names, and descriptions of people who have broken the law or refused to obey court orders. The Wall of Shame might become more popular than the Great Wall of China.
