The suggestion to create a Detroit RoboCop sculpture has been garnering lots of internet attention. Detroit Mayor Bing easily shot the rumors down, but the internet community has responded strongly. The grassroots initiative to put a RoboCop statue in Detroit is working well, and the sculpture is likely to become a real possibility. This sculpture could be built without anyone taking out installment loans to do it.
RoboCop sculpture won't happen in Detroit, mayor states
A while ago, the city government for Detroit started an online campaign to get citizens to submit ideas for ways to improve the town in any way possible. Building a statue of the "RoboCop" science fiction series main character was a recommendation that would improve aesthetics in Detroit which many started to like, reports MSNBC. Bing, as Detroit Mayor, explained that a statue of RoboCop wouldn't ever be constructed in support of the city government on his Twitter account.
Citizens liked the idea
The city government would never build a RoboCop sculpture with tax dollars which Mayor Bing made clear. The citizens decided to do something though. A "build a statue of RoboCop in Detroit" group was started on Facebook which then got the KickStarter website involved in the situation. Individuals are able to pledge money to nonprofit and for-profit causes such as "Detroit Needs a RoboCop Statue" with KickStarter. The goal to create the state was to get $50,000. The site has elevated $59,000 already.
Monetary gift for ‘RoboCop’ quite large
Pete Hottlett of the Omni Consumer Products Corporation is where the largest monetary gift, or $25,000, to the "Detroit Needs a RoboCop Statue" campaign came from. The "RoboCop" in the "RoboCop" series is made by the "Omni Consumer Products Corp." The real Omni Consumer Products Corp. adopted the name on purpose while making products from movies right now. The "Tru blood" drink from "True Blood" is made by Omni right now. It also makes "Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator" from "Idiocracy" also as "Stay Puft Marshmallows" from "Ghostbusters."
