“Hooray for Hefner”

The world-famous Hollywood sign, threatened with the sale of the land it sits on, was saved by Hugh Hefner, who donated $900,000 to get to the fundraising campaign’s goal of $12.5 million to buy the property. Hefner just wanted to prove that he could still keep it up.

In exchange, of course, the sign will have to pose naked for Playboy.

The campaign had already raised enough money to save “Holly,” but Hefner’s contribution also made sure that we’d forever have “Wood.”

Hefner has helped the Hollywood sign before, giving it a facelift in 1978. This time he wants it to get bigger letters.

Hefner insists that the sign should get implants in its O’s.

Hefner’s ultimate goal was to change the sign to spell Hollywood with a Double-D.
