This Mayor's balls have their own gravitational field. I have to admire him for his response to the raging controversy!
A Turkish mayor is being sued for using public money to build a 6-metre statue of a robot in the capital of Ankara.
Turkey's Chamber of Architects and Engineers (TMMOB) filed a criminal complaint against Mayor Melih Gökçek over his controversial decision to erect a giant statue of a robot, local media reported.
At first it was believed that the statue was an April Fool's joke, but bemusement quickly turned to anger when it was revealed how it had been paid for.

The robot at the centre of the row has been described by TMMOB representatives as a "monstrosity" who have attacked the perceived waste of taxpayers money.
Gökçek himself has defended the decision. After a row broke out following reports he said: "Respect the robot."
