	Movies - Omni Consumer Products

Omni Consumer Products (OCP) is the primary fictional corporation in the RoboCop
series of movies, tv-shows, video-games, and comics. OCP represents the quintessential dystopian megacorporation of the 1980s and the popular socio-economic concerns of the period.

A case of capitalism taken to an inhumane extreme, OCP is run (and seems to be mainly staffed) by people with no concern for anything but power, profit and their own personal ambition. When their poorly designed consumer products hurt or kill people, their only concern is negative PR.

Operation

OCP is involved in fields too numerous to list. With a stake in almost any field where there is money to be made, they produce everything from minor consumer products to military hardware. Their most famous projects include the successful RoboCop, the poorly-designed ED-209, and the insane RoboCop 2.

In the first RoboCop movie they seek to privatize Detroit, Michigan into Delta City, with fully privatized services — such as police — and with residents exercising their representative citizenship through the purchase of shares of OCP stock. They also serve as part of the military-industrial complex; according to OCP executive Richard "Dick" Jones, "We ARE the military."

"Take a close look at the track record of this company, and you'll see that we've gambled in markets traditionally regarded as non-profit: hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it." — Richard "Dick" Jones
