    Why don't we have giant statues of our old cartoon heroes like Scooby Doo, or Deputy Dawg?

    Who pays for this shit? What's the angle? Is it a rich guy who says,"I want a giant fucking robot!", some investor who figured out how to make millions in giant robot statues, or is their government financing this?

    @elvisml2: Haha, I wanted to say everything you said. But seriously, I have to at least say this to feel better: Japan, what the fk is up with you building giant fk'ing dolls all over your country? Build a Section 8 apartment building. Feed some homeless. Cure cancer. No? Those options not doing it for ya? Nahhhh we'll just build some homo-erotic figurine play-things... Ya-ta!

    Can we please build a 500ft Sentinel facing west somewhere on Hawaii? It would incorporate a missile defense system that fires from the robot's extended middle fingers.
