Irony of the Hollywood sign

Oh my...

My initial (instinctive) response is not fit for these boards...

So I'll just say that I think you'd find me a tough old bird

Curious about others thoughts on the matter.

Mandela effect. It used to be HOLLYWOOD HILLS rather than HOLLYWOODLAND.
But, as Mandela effects work, there's no way to prove it.

Hey! Anyone here remember it as HOLLYWOOD HILLS?

I don't have a memory of the sign saying it

The Hollywood Hills is a hillside neighborhood in the central region of the city of Los Angeles, California.

Fitting

Hugh Hefner saved the Hollywood sign in 2010, but that was the second time he'd done so. The first time was back in 1978, as he gathered other celebrities for a Playboy Mansion fundraiser to raise the $250,000 to rebuild the sign.

Each letter had its own sponsor. Alice Cooper donated one of the O's, Gene Autry donated an L, Hugh Hefner himself — surrounded by Playboy bunnies — paid for the Y. They laid down $27,777 each, with various reasons given for the letters they chose. Cooper said he bought the O in honor of Groucho Marx.

Hefner said that the sign was the Eiffel Tower of Tinseltown and that restoring it was symbolic of restoring Hollywood's glamor.

Well I have never heard that term before and had to Google it! Learned something new... Thank you!

And that's all I'll say about that.

Burning it is so 2020 though....Not like any cops will be around.

Trust me, the Cancel Mob will try to burn it down in the coming weeks if there aren't guards there to stop it.

I hiked it back 2016, all u have to do is hop a fence.

Not that I want to see anything removed, but this is that part where the irony makes it so damn fun.

Yup, Hollywood sign should go, just like how Yale University should be renamed.. Elihu Yale, was one of the biggest slave traders of his time.. Funny how they wont cancel that name yet, considering his past.

Give them (the activists, swj's, and those who's life's work involves

being offended on another's behalf) time.......

Soon it will all be gone, its simply a matter of time!!
