Kid Robocop Brings Hope To Detroit

This is OBVIOUSLY phenomenal! The kid wanted to dress up as Robocop. So his Dad is way awesome, too, and made this great costume. Then he took him around Detroit and took these great photos and more. On his blog, the father James D. Griffioen, posts a wonderful description from which I will share some excerpts:

"The boy insisted for months that he wanted to be a robot for Halloween. His sister was a robot when she was his age. We looked at various robot images on the computer and he was most intrigued by Robocop. After I showed him the trailer, there was no convincing him otherwise. He was going to be Robocop. Which was good, because Detroit has a Cancer. That Cancer is Crime."

"Robocop walks pretty slow and the technology running his systems seems about as sophisticated as what was inside a Sega Genesis, but he has a really powerful gun and the bad guys can shoot him all they want and he keeps coming. Basically, he's everything a little boy thinks is cool."

Sure beats the crap out of my stupid costumes. "Cool Dad of Halloween 2010" award recipient.
