A homage to Robocop

I was 6 years old, when I first saw him. Even though he looked a bit scary to me (half man-half machine), he was a good man: ROBOCOP. And after 24 years, he might return to his city Detroit.

Recently a group of artists and fans decided to honor this important man by creating a huge sculpture of him. Unfortunately they couldn't finance the project so an online fund raising period started. With donations of fans/supporters the group already raised $60,488. They still need donations until March 29 to create the best sculpture for Robocop.

Not everybody is very happy with the idea of placing a sculpture of Robocop in the city. Some say it would create an image of Detroit being a city of crime. The mayor isn't eager about this idea either. So even if they raise enough money, they still need mayors' approval. And I really hope they will get his approval. Anyway, if you've forgotten who this legendary cop is, you should check out the video of Robocop, here at Jumi.
