Cristiano Ronaldo Or 'The Situation'? New Yorker Can't Tell

Cristiano Ronaldo may be one of the most recognizable soccer players in the world, but one New Yorker could not distinguish him from a different sort of celebrity. The New York Post reports that a restaurant-goer confused the Portuguese superstar with The Situation, the Jersey Shore reality TV personality.

"Oh, my God, it's The Situation!" a diner reportedly said as the former FIFA World Player of the Year strolled into the restaurant. Apparently Ronaldo's newborn son is not enough to inform the confused fan.

This poll is so lop-sided I think we should put it to the U.S. just so they can vote and verify that bipartisanship is NOT dead.

Ronaldo = win :0

They don't even look alike. And Ronaldo's Abs is the real deal.

For accuracy sake, he appears to be more of a bitchuation. Gotta hand it to MTV, even though they're securely in the abyss, they keep digging deeper.

Somebody *actually* calls himself "The Situation"?? (So, is he "The" to his friends?)

Sorry, there is no comparison...not even close! Christiano Ronaldo is gorgeous! The Situation wishes he looked that good.

Sucks to be Cristiano, cause he is def more ripped and even better looking than the situation.

Um.. "the situation"'s abs aren't... well.. that great. Average, at best. I mean, Parker London and Bo Dean have considerably better abs. So do most of the guys at Cocksure Men, actually. And he ain't much in the face department, either. Or the brains department.

I guess if you like guys who are cocky for no real reason.... Maybe.

That fan needs optic correction presto.

Cristiano looks not like that mess "the situation." Not even close.

Futhermore one has talents, looks, grace and skills. The other has nothing and is nothing but a trainwreck talentless backwoods joke.

He simply mistook a winner for a loser. That's it.

I would not get The Situation confused with Ronaldo, but if both walked into a restaurant, I would recognize The Situation and have no clue who Ronaldo is.

If they both walked in would you even bother choosing, just have both appetizers, I mean.. just enjoy both.. I mean, heck you know what I mean, lol. :P

lol this can't be real. They look nothing alike. "The Situation" has a mug on him that the other guy is lucky not to possess.
But on another note, I think The Situation has a real situation with some runaway obliques... looks like it's trying to escape around back and get off that crazy ride. Not that I blame it. :)

You noticed that too. Plus the soccer player has the requisite V shape while "the situation" is a hot mess.
