A friend of mine owns the land that the famous Hollywood sign sits on. He owns about 5 acres or so all together there, and have for many years now. Ideally, he would like to sell it to the city of Los Angeles, so it can be preserved as a landmark. The problem is, that the city is unwilling/unable to fork out the cost of the property. He's considering selling it to private parties, but is fearful that some obnoxious wealthy idiot is going to built something outrageous and ruin the place.

If you owned this unique piece of land, what would you do with it?

'Bale is a loser' instead.

That's weird. I'm sure the CA government has a few hundred mill sitting around to pitch in on this, right?

I'd get naked and wander around, touching myself amongst the letters.

wow. that is pretty impressive!
i have a few photos of me at the top of the "D" from years back.
I always wondered if anyone actually watches those cameras that are on the back of the letters? or are they even real?

Seriously though, if he owns the land he should do one deal, and only one deal to let someone obliterate the sign with a crass advertising hoarding for just one month. It would be worth a bloody fortune in the primary and the lead-off media coverage so he would coin it in. The scandal would take the ad around the world and into every home overnight. If he donated the opportnity for free to a charity or a plight it would be great.
The second thing this would do would be to shock the city of LA into realising that they better own this land to prevent their landmark being fucked about with future.
Kerching.
