HOLLYWEED? Famous Hollywood sign changed by pranksters
Welcome to Hollyweed: Famous sign was changed on New Year's Eve
It’s one of the most famous signs in the world, conjuring up images of beautiful actors and blockbuster movies.
But the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles got an unexpected makeover this weekend, as unknown vandals changed it to read “Hollyweed” instead.
It’s speculated that the prank was celebrating the success of Proposition 64 in November, which legalised marijuana for recreational use in the state of California.
Sale and taxation of cannabis will kick off in 2018.
