For a brief time on February, the Hollywood sign read “Hollyboob”.. though it was a stunt to raise awareness of breast cancer, those who did it were arrested.
This from the AFP:
Six people were in custody after altering Los Angeles’ landmark Hollywood sign to read “Hollyboob,” police said.
Photos shared online showed the sign — which overlooks the Hollywood hills — with the W and D replaced with Bs.
According to local outlet NBC Los Angeles, the group were activists trying to raise awareness about breast cancer, and used large sheets of tarpaulin to make the edits.
They did not cause any permanent damage to the sign, a policeman told local media.
LAPD Hollywood police chief Captain Steve Lurie said the stunt was “way uncool.”
“Los Angeles landmarks are precious,” he said on Twitter.
The incident is far from the first time the landmark has been modified — having been edited on three separate occasions by marijuana-loving locals to read “Hollyweed.”
The entire nation seems to be in a cycle of sleeplessness and phone addiction. No wonder are becoming zombies.
A survey of more than 31,000 people shows that insufficient sleep, mental health problems, and stress were the causes of a whole host of symptoms doctors are used to seeing in head injury patients. Symptoms of what doctors call post-concussion syndrome (PCS) range from persistent headaches, dizziness and anxiety, to insomnia and loss of concentration and memory.
While 27 percent of people report having several of these symptoms, between one-half and three-quarters say they experience at least one. The most common symptoms are fatigue, low energy and drowsiness. Yet despite their findings, researchers believe the number in the general population could be much higher.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and the US military officially funded the study that produced this shocking results.. It was designed to improve care for athletes and soldiers who suffered concussions. A total of 2,039 military service academy cadets and 18,548 student athletes were surveyed.
While there is no conclusion or theory as to why such a dramatic number of people are walking around as though they have brain damage, the past year has not helped!
Perhaps the zombie mentality we find ourselves in has been the result of the news cycle in overdrive, fears over the virus, and addiction to our smart phones. People are restless and edgy.. Their smart phones and social media wars aren’t helping.
