A Turkish politician who has been mayor of Ankara, the capital of Turkey, since 1994 is currently being sued after unveiling a 20-foot-tall metal robot in the city. 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]

Such a waste..... It should have been a 20 foot, fully functional mech

He should of just wasted all that money jailing criminals committing victimless crimes, creating a huge military, and campaigning for his reelection.
