Taxpayers hit the roof when Mayor Melih Gökçek pulled the sheet off his masterpiece, saying it is an enormous waste of their money – and rightly so, as he blew a pretty big budget on it. After the public backlash, Gökçek simply replied ‘Respect the robot’. I hope he gets away with it.[spoiler]RESPECT THE ROBOT[/spoiler]
