Three weeks to save Hollywood sign
Thursday, March 25, 2010 » 03:22pm

A conservation group says it has just three weeks to raise 3 million US dollars to save the iconic Hollywood sign from being razed by investors who want to build luxury houses on the site.

Tim Ahern of the Trust for Public Land says they feel they have a good chance of doing that.

The group needs to raise money to reach the 12.5 million US dollars needed to purchase the 55-hectare parcel of rugged land surrounding the sign from a Chicago-based consortium that has acquired rights to build four luxury mansions along the ridgeline.

Private donors to the fund include movie and television companies and Hollywood stars such as director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks.

Please give.

[Oceander]

I would dance with joy to see that now-odious symbol of leftist oppression taken down.

[MediaMole]

Don’t Spielberg and Hanks have that much in their couch cushions?

[Commander X]

Tear it down. Who cares for Hollyweird anyway?

[max americana]

I see it everyday anyway..no biggie. let the rich libtards give their own money.

[taxesareforever]

A conservative group raising the money? I thought I was a conservative and I wouldn’t give a penny. Have conservatives changed this much and left me behind?

[abigailsmybaby]

CONSERVATION group. lol

[HerrBlucher]

It should be replaced with “Commiewood.”

[Libloather]

A conservative group raising the money?

A conservation group...

Sure, I'm three sheets to the wind right now but you MUST make the distinction.

[Oceander]

Gallows might be useful, too.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I mean comeon. You’re telling me James Cammron and the other la-la land limousine liberal billionaires and millionaires wouldn’t pitch in to save the iconic sign of their now empire of filth and anti-americanism?
Goes to show what these phony hollywood scumbags loyalty equals = worthless.
The one great thing about hollywood is that most of it is such a backstabing cesspool, they are great a perpetually eating their own and destroying themselves. They are their own worst enemies.

Could be a scam. According to this website the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce owns and maintains the monument.

I was going to comment on the sign, but it wasn’t worth it.

[Jeff Chandler]

Eh. It’s been there long enough. I’m kind of getting tired of it anyway.

Many children in America are refused healthcare due to preexisting conditions. Maybe they could use a few of them as props to raise money for the sign???

"Hi, I'm little Johnny Smith and I'm a sympathetic child-actor without healthcare, because I have a preexisting condition known as OAS/ADHD (over acting syndrome due to ADHD). Will you please give to save our sign and the entire West Hollywood community of GLBT's who will certainly die if this sign is replaced by mansions for film producers. Make them build in Malibu or Palos Verdes. This sign belongs to the people. Give...dig deep and give to our very important cause. Forget the DNC and United Way...THEY SUCK!"

[Huskrrrr]

Oh the humanity!

[Michael.SF.]

It has to be one of the longest standing advertising signs ever. I say bring back the L-A-N-D!

[Libloather]

Could be a scam. According to this website the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce owns and maintains the monument.

So just who would pocket the pre-Commiecare™ dollars?

[Huskrrrr]

Place a Nike Swoosh next to the sign. That should raise enough dough.

[monkeyshine]

And it will only cost another $8 million to put the letters LAND at the end of the sign, like it used to read before that part fell down years ago.
