Residents of Los Angeles' most famous neighborhood woke up on New Year's Day to find the world-famous Hollywood sign had been changed to read "Hollyweed".

Voters in California approved the legalization of marijuana in a ballot³ held on Nov 8, 2016.

The prank⁴ has not caused lasting⁵ damage to the sign, however, as parts of both "O" letters were covered by tarpaulins⁶ to make them look like a lower-case letter "E".

此次恶作剧并未对该标志造成永久性的破坏，两个字母"O"都只是被人用柏油帆布遮住了一部分，使它们看起来像小写字母"e"。
