A retailer just made a bust of this famous facepalm meme and it's glorious

Never has there ever been a single image so frequently used to express one's dismay at life, people, politics, and anything and everything under the sun as Captain Jean-Luc Picard's meme.

There has been various other historical facepalm art as well. Take the statue of "Caïn" by Henri Vidal.

Yet, perhaps owing to the popularity of the Star Trek series, it is the honourable Captain who is often depicted facepalming himself either in still images or through gifs.

The historical moment first aired on Star Trek: The Next Generation on February 5, 1990, in case you're wondering.

Today, the most judgmental meme has its own "bronze" bust thanks to the good folks over at ThinkGeek.

Priced at US$69.90, the bust makes the perfect mantelpiece to silently mock you, reminding you of the countless of times you've made some of the most dumbest decisions in your life.

Oh by the way, this is an officially licensed Star Trek: The Next Generation collectible. Crafted out of resin, the bust has felt on the base to keep it from damaging your surface.
