Kid dressed as Robocop walks around Detroit.
Ronseal.
Is Detroit still in vogue? I sure hope so!
Edit: the photos have now been taken down from the above link, an alternative set can be found here.

I like the 9th photo.
I think the police officer is trying to feed it.

Hope he kills his parents
After spending his entire school years being relentlessly harassed as 'robopenis' or some such childish name.
It should be against the law to abuse your kids by hanging childhood photos/video around their necks forever.
...and if its on the net, then it is forever.
Sorry for getting a bit heavy, but I fear for the future mental health of the 'kids used for a laugh' that you see posted on the net.

Pics have gone due to the kids father being a collosal dick
Yeah put something very funny and cool on the internet and then get upset when people copy them and post them on other sites.

You mean people posting them somewhere else without permission?
Like what has happened to many fellow B3tans?
Don't think the father's a 'dick' so much as 'totally within his fucking rights' to be honest

This isnt a piece of digital art he has created which has been stolen
or photographs he has taken which have been stolen from his personal collection.
They are funny pics of his kid which he chose to post in a public forum. I think he is having a laugh if he thinks you can publicly post something in a place which has free and open access to a billion people world wide and then get offended when people propagate this by copying and posting all over the place (that is generally the power of the internet and how the medium works). If he had intended to sell these pics or saw some sort of financial value in them or wanted to protect his work then all he needed to have done was watermark them like many b3tards do on here.
I agree with his point that it is poor form that people would post his 'work' and not offer a credit to him, it would seem like the decent thing to do however to me it sounds more like sour grapes that he has taken some pics that are now winding their way all over the internet and he wasn't able to somehow cash in on it or have his own personal website promoted. As I said though watermarking (although not flawless) would have drastically helped to have overcome this and is generally how any digital artist or photographer protects his or her work online. A harsh lesson for him perhaps but closing the gate after the horse has bolted seems to me to bit silly. Put it down to experience and don't make the same mistake again.

As far as I can see...
He hasn't posted the pics on a public forum - if you click the second link, you'll see they're hosted on his own personal blog. Whether or not he wants to 'somehow cash in' on the pics (and I don't really see why he would assume that he could) is besides the point. They're pics hosted on his own personal blog, and if some arsehole lifts them without permission he is well within his rights to ask them to be removed. I agree, he could have went about this in a better way, without sounding like an arsehole himself, but that doesn't means he is in any way in the wrong here.
You seem to have a beef with him for mostly imaginary reasons - I don't see where he has tried to 'cash in' on the pics or anything like that - he's simply asking for some kind of credit or recognition, which you have admitted is fair enough. And just because he may not know about watermarking doesn't make him wrong either - he's not a digital artist, as you pointed out, he's just some guy who put pictures of his kid on his blog, so expecting him to know about shit like watermarking seems a little unfair.
The only reason I'm sticking up for him, by the way, is because your previous remarks seem totally and unnecessarily vitriolic. Give the guy a break

Oh, and if you actually read the comments on the first link, you'll see that this Dmitry guy seems like a much bigger asshole than the father
I think we've all sent e-mails while angry that probably wouldn't sound all that great when read by a third party - no need to hate the guy for it

Collosal Indeed
As if the RoboCop image was theirs in the first place. I hope Sony Pictures sues them for twice the amount they've threatened to sue for.
