The Mayor of Detroit has been crowd-sourcing ideas to reinvigorate the Motor City - and he actually received a pretty cool suggestion, no doubt inspired at least in part by Philadelphia's statue of their hometown movie hero Rocky.

Sadly, the short-sighted Bing politely declined the idea, which was overflowing with win.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, who has taken to the Internet to solicit ideas for the city's revival, said on Monday there were no plans for a RoboCop statue to honor the 1987 science fiction movie based on Detroit. The question had come in via Twitter.

"There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop," Bing wrote on his Twitter account. "Thank you for your suggestion."

Bing touched off an immediate wave of Twitter messages from fans of the movie who hope he will reconsider, and others amused that he had even responded.
