thedailywhat: Worthwhile Cause of the Day: Detroit’s mayor, Dave Bing, glibly swatted away a legitimate proposal to build a Robocop statue for his city. The Criterion Collection found this to be a poor decision on the part of Mayor Bing, and so did I. If you’re in the same boat as myself and The Criterion Collection, all hope is not lost: A Kickstarter project has been launched to crowd-fund the construction of a Robocop statue for $50,000. This is something that needs to happen, if only for all of the much-needed attention it will bring to Detroit. Mayor Bing may have passed on the idea, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good one, or at least one that deserves better than a dismissive tweet. If just 50,000 people say “I’d buy that for a dollar,” they can help Detroit install the ultimate symbol of a better tomorrow. Want to help? Click here to learn more. [h/t: buzzfeed.]  haha…Americans.
