Detroit Mayor: No Plans for Robocop Statue
Posted in: Robots Robotics, Today's Chili, twitter, Weird News
Bad news, the Internet. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing announced today on Twitter that the city has no plans to erect a statue to America’s favorite crime fighting cyborg. The mayor yesterday tweeted, “There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop. Thank you for the suggestion.”
The sad announcement came shortly after a user suggested that Detroit follow in Philadelphia’s pop culture statue erecting footsteps. “Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky & Robocop would kick Rocky’s butt. He’s a GREAT ambassador for Detroit,” wrote Twitter user @MT, who only describes himself as not being a mountain.
The mayor’s decision, naturally, has created an outrage amongst the Twitter population, who apparently haven’t had that much to complain about after last week’s Kenneth Cole and Groupon kerfuffkes settled down. The mayor’s office isn’t releasing an official comment on the matter.
