Philly has a Rocky statue. But when fans in Detroit wanted a statue erected in honor of their city's fictional hero, Robocop, the idea was rebuffed by the mayor.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, who had asked citizens online for ideas on how to revitalize the city, shot down the statue idea via Twitter. "There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop," Bing tweeted. "Thank you for your suggestion."

This, of course, sent Robocop fans into a Twitter frenzy.
