The iconic Hollywood sign was vandalised this morning and now says Hollyweed

Someone has a very a green sense of humour.

Hollywood is having a 420 moment as it is now dominated by a giant Hollyweed sign. Los Angeles police are said to be investigating the matter.  During the early hours of the morning the sign was changed, whether security was lax  on account of New Year’s festivities is not yet apparent.

A fresh look for tinseltown after the Christmas mania, might have been what the pranksters were trying to achieve, or else they were just having some craic with an iconic american symbol.

This isn’t the first time the sign has been altered, in 1976 the sign was modified with curtains to also read Hollyweed. 40 years later and the dream has once again been realised.
