Dear Statue of Liberty, you may be the most famous statue in the whole wide world, but you ain’t got anything on the statue the people of Detroit are currently rallying to build: RoboCop!

It all started when the people of Detroit proposed an idea to erect a statue of RoboCop, which was rejected by its Mayor, one Dave Bing. Down but not out, the hardcore Robo fans took to the internet where they created a Facebook group in hopes of raising $50,000 in the next 45 days so that a local artist, Jerry Paffendorf, have enough to build a “a giant solid metal permanent sculpture.”

According to Paffendorf, if completed, the RoboCop statue would become part of the Imagination Station – “a blighted Roosevelt Park home turned public art project”. Probably because he didn’t anyone to think he’s a jackass, Bing’s spokeswoman, Karen Dumas, told the Detroit Free Press that the mayor would consider using public land for a donated RoboCop statue.
