'Hollyweed:' Prankster alters LA's landmark sign

The iconic hillside sign overlooking Southern California's film-and-television hub was defaced overnight in honor of marijuana. 

Residents awoke on Jan. 1 to find "Hollyweed" staring down at them in four-story, white letters from Los Angeles' Mount Lee, where a version of the picture-ready "Hollywood" sign was first erected in 1923.
