Tuesday evening, organizers met their goal of raising $50,000, just six days after the whimsical campaign began.

The initiative began as something of a lark last week, when Mayor Dave Bing responded to a question on Twitter and said the city has no plans to build a RoboCop statue.

Some people are saying that this kind of money should be raised for things that matter, like public schools. Other people say this is just pure awesome.

Personally, I think it's hilarious. If people want to donate to this cause, that's fine, it's their money they can do what they want with it.

That Chrysler commercial during the Super Bowl told me everything is okay in Detroit and they're making a roaring comeback on the backs of Eminem and a Christian chorus, so I say go for it!

That's amazing, I'd have donated to that if I'd have known about it.

Maybe the effort people put into saying all money should go towards public schools should be put into public schools. A statue of RoboCop would be awesome, and far better than nonsensical abstract city art.

In b4 it becomes at Tourism site and actually brings money into the city.

Stupid major.

The robocop statue should be solid titanium and 50ft high.

Paffendorf, 29, of Detroit said he hopes the RoboCop campaign inspires residents and leads to other projects.
"If people can raise money for something like RoboCop, then they can do it for their neighborhoods or their schools," Paffendorf said. "Sometimes it takes a RoboCop to open up the consciousness of these things."

I've never watched Robocop either. Never really got into that. He's a cop, I don't have time rooting for cops. The same with Captain America, he's part of the machine. Where's the fun in a superhero like that?

That totally isn't what RoboCop is about.

Also, the man behind Captain America was pretty much destroyed by the super soldier procedure. That's the tragedy.
