Tweety Bird popsicle doesn't look like Tweety Bird

I bought this ugly Tweety Bird popsicle for my kid from the ice cream truck. The manufacturer didn't even try to center the gumball eyes. Link

Renato says: "I got really creeped out by the Tweety Bird popsicle, and thought it could be compared to the Picasso of the popsicles. Anyway, the eyes intrigued me. I could not resist the curious feeling and quick-and-poorly photoshoped the eyes to match the image on the pack...

"So, the question 'Would look a bit more with Tweety if the eyes were in the right places?'

"The answer: 'God, no.'

"The photoshopped picture."
