Detroit Says Yes to Eminem, No to Robocop!

A Robocop statue?  I'd buy that for a dollar!

As we learned last night, while Roethlisberger may have a ways to go on his road to redemption, Eminem is now the spokesperson for Detroit.  Good for Mr. Mathers.

On the other hand, a certain Officer Alex Murphy may not be getting the respect he richly deserves from Motown.  Upon a Twitter suggestion that the city erect a statue of it's most famous fictional character, as Philadelphia has done with Rocky, Detroit Mayor David Bing had this to say:

With leadership like this, it's no wonder the city will fall into complete disorder leaving Omni Consumer Products to come in and corporatize it's police force in the near future.

UPDATE 2/10/2011: Followup - Robocop may be getting a statue in Detroit after all!
