VIDEO: The Original Robocop Endorses Detroit Statue of Himself
While we've already established that a Robocop statue for Detroit isn't really so bizarre in comparison to movie statues that already exist, Detroit's mayor Dave Bing still hasn't come around. Enter the original Robocop, Peter Weller with this compelling, mostly irrefutable video endorsement of the project. Whoever convinced Weller to walk this line between deadpan perfection and goofy idiocy while donning a homemade Robocop mask has my deepest thanks. I would now like to see Weller in a full length summer comedy.

It's this type of fun that makes the City fun for everyone. I can see people posing for pictures next to this statue and showing their friends back home...everyone smiling and saying how funny!!
Detroit...don't take yourself too seriously!!
I still can't get over the fact that Weller is a history professor. If I had taken his class, my lecture notes would've read, "You're move, creep" and "Can you fly, Bobby? CAN YOU FLY?!"
My UNT pride swells when I see him as he is truly North Texas' finest graduate.
