Mistake on the Hollywood Sign
In an interview with News.com.au, the chair of the Hollywood sign trust, Jeff Zarrinman said he loves to point out the obvious mistake in the famous Hollywood sign. If you haven’t noticed it before, Zarrinman is convinced it’s going to ruin your perception of the sign for good. You will not be able to unsee it. Firstly, take a good long look at the shape of the “W,” what do you see? Well, in case your eyes don’t see it, the “V” shaped gap on the left-hand side of the W is narrower than the gap on the right.
I always get a kick out of telling people this when they’re standing in front of it,” Jeff Zarrinman said. “Even though people just stand and stare at it when they visit it, they never notice. When I point it out and tell them one of the ‘V’s in the ‘W’ is wider than the other by a significant margin, they’re always amazed.”
He continued, “So the ‘mistake’, if you want to call it that, is still there, but people don’t notice even if they stare at it for hours — and when you notice it, you can’t unsee it.”
