If all Americans were forced to go veggie, plant front lawns to potatoes and bio-gas all sewage it mnight solve global warming and a diminishing return on the dollar. If we made Vodka from the surplus patatoes we could all ger drunker than Hell for free, an nobody would giva a damn anymore! None of this will happen ! Pets will wave its silly ass in the air until they get tired and go home to steak dinnersw in air-conditioned cars! Who is kidding who here? America will follow this tragic course to the bitter end! and we sill adapt slowly to the changes necessary to keep what we want and reject things we are tire of, right to the last speck of wakmart crap on the shelf! Dollars vote! and walmart is the king of Dollars days! Long live Walmart! may they grow in size, lobby the government and have their way with us! We love it!Country? Flags? Yeah, they sell them too!

PETA makes me want to eat meat just to spite them. Why won’t they learn that propaganda is so passe? You can’t change anyone’s mind by telling them to. I guess it’s supposed to be cute but that’s definitely the wrong approach, in my opinion, and I think the only way PETA can “spread the love” at this point is to stop reproducing and stop wasting everyone’s time and money.

The Cahuenga Peak being located WEST of the Hollywood sign, I doubt that a sign put up there would make the “famous landmark” say “hollywood go veg”.
West means “left”. The PETA sign will be BEFORE the Hollywood sign.
Furthermore, the Cahuenga Peak not the hill where the hollywood sign is located. People will be able to make the difference.

I think it is a waste for a few reasons.

1. This type of promotion does not influence behavior change. I’ve done research on communication and behavior change for environmental causes and this doesn’t change anyone’s mind or result in people adopting new behaviors.

2. This stunt will not get mainstream positive press. Although, I guess they feel that bad publicity is better than no publicity. That is the PETA way.

3. It is “preaching to the choir.” Only the “converted” will appreciate it. Others will feel it is wacky, tacky and an eye sore.

This might be big news for the old hollywood sign…poor fans will be mad because they f*cked up the “Hollywood” BS….anyway….I think this is good and bad, good because even though some MAY be a little confused by it or hate it, at least some might even ask what it means and find veganism interesting then discover a world of abuse they were eating, and change….you never know…And bad because….well who cares about the sign fans? This is more important. Everyone should start taking veganism more seroiusly. I hope this will make people change…but i doubt it will as much as people will be laughing at it, unfortunatly. :\
So yeah…I have mixed feelings. hehehe. I hope they do it…Theres a lot of people in hollywood (and other celebs really getting into the Animal rights fight and veganismso far). Hope this works if they do it. Ahh blahhh I sound silly now!! hhehehhe :O

Hollywood and LA have tons of vegan, vegetarian, and raw food restaurants, so I doubt that any of the locals will misinterpret the sign. I think that enough people in the world know what vegetarianism is to understand the sign.

I agree that getting rid of fur in Hollywood would be a better endeavor. A sign is not the best use of PETA’s resources, but I’d much rather that they spend the money on a Go Veg sign instead of the usual, more than slightly sexist ad campaigns.

If I’m the Hollywood sign and I look to my left then it would be Hollywood Go Veg. If, let’s say, you’re the Hollywood sign and I’m looking at the land while talking to you then it would read Go Veg Hollywood. Hm? Sorry Ehlm, I think it’s Hollywood Go Veg.

The plot of land in question is actually to the left of the hollywood sign not the right. It would read “Go Veg Hollywood” and currently the town of hollywood is raising money to purchase the land from Chicago developers who are planning to build luxury estates on the land. SO to me, PETA don’t got a chance in hell.
