Leeds United have found themselves with a curious surprise. They allowed fans to pay for a cardboard cutout of themselves in the stand. One, in send of sending a photo of themself, sent a photo of Bin Laden.

That black humour has no limits is more than proven on social media. Leeds United fans put it into practice. The club began an initiative in which, in exchange for 27.57 euros (25 pounds), any fan could send a photo to have a cardboard cutout in the stands.

The curious thing came when one of the fans, instead of sending a photo of themselves, sent one of Bin Laden. He is the ex-leader of the terrorist group Al Qaeda, declared dead by the US government a few years ago in a mission by special forces.

The action went viral on social media when a Twitter user realised it and posted a photo of the section of the stand where the cutout appears. The club has not commented on this but ended up removing it.

What is certain is that the internet users, although the club has already removed it, have had time to laugh and make enough black humour jokes about it. In fact, they're already coming up with answers to the tweet from the person who realised...
