Detroit's RoboCop Statue Is Funded!

I know I'm not the only person been thinking that a statue of RoboCop would look great in Detroit, so I was glad to hear this piece of news today. In fact, I sent our senior news correspondent, Yuri Bonergarden, to Detroit get the scoop!
On the plane to Detroit, Yuri was pleased to read that donations were raised to put this project together, with a final donation of $25,000 from a company called Omni Consumer products.

Now when Yuri first arrived in Detroit and met with the Mayor, he was surprised to learn that there was no immediate plan to put a fur hat on RoboCop upon the statue's completion. This concerned him greatly, and he expressed this concern with extreme gusto - an action to which the Mayor replied, "Men, get RoboCop a fur hat!"
As you can imagine, the Mayor is a very influential man, and when he requests a fur hat, one is fetched for him immediately. He put this task on top priority, and his men came back with a high-quality, no-expenses-spared red tail fox hat. Yuri and the Mayer of Detroit shook hands, knowing that RoboCop's statue will be erected in style! Above is an artist's rendering of what the statue will look like upon completion.

    You're all right, Bonergarden. Nicely done.

    So... now can we send Robocop to kill the makers of that terrible, and awkwardly aggressive 'we're from Detroit, we've been to hell and back, and screw all you haters you never been here' Chrysler commercial? Don't forget Eminem. Thanks!

    A robocop statue is definitely what taxpayer money needs to be spent on in this economic climate ;).

    I'll have to admit though, a robocop statue will be ultra badass.

    I am going to trust that a true OCP company made the final $25k donation because thats just too damn hysterical. I had read the news article several days back on google or something about this. almost makes me want to visit "old Detroit" just to see the statue :D

    They should have used Robocop instead of Eminem for that Chrysler commercial.

    Robocop is a HO! maybe they wouldnt have torn his bitch ass apart in the movie if he could move as fast as a person at least. Well let me take that back. He was good at conducting HO Business. However, at least they allowed him to be remembered with some dignity. I know when I go.....This is the perfect tribute!
