Detroit Mayor Says No to RoboCop Statue
The city of Detroit is tired of looking like a hellhole that only photographers searching for awesome urban decay shots to post on Flickr would want to visit. But what’s the remedy? Let Banksy run wild with a can of spray paint and market the place as one huge post-modern art project? No…too latte-sippingly pretentious. Detroit needs something tougher, something that says “This is Detroit and you better not mess with us or else we will shoot you in the face (unless you are an employee of OCP in which case our fourth directive will prevent us from harming you).” I’ve got it: a RoboCop statue! It will be just like Philadelphia’s Rocky statue except it will not be gay. Oh…it appears someone already suggested this idea to Detroit mayor Dave Bing. And Bing shot it down? On Twitter? Sorry Detroit, it looks like you won’t get your RoboCop statue as long as Dave Bing is your mayor. You better vote him out of office or kidnap him and chop his head off. Only joking about the kidnapping him and chopping his head off thing! Don’t really do that Detroit. Detroit? Can you hear me? Do you still have internet there? Have the mutant rats eaten through the wires again?
