How so? I'd consider the Hollywood sign to be an iconic American landmark and haven't really heard much to the contrary.

- williamdclt 8y agoA lot of people do consider it an iconic American landmark, but don't necessarily see it as a good thing. In this particular case, for me the first things Hollywood sign evokes are "megalomania", "shitty blockbusters", "overinflated ego". I'm super biased (I don't even really know Hollywood history) and it doesn't necessarily make it the "most derided piece of art", but it wouldn't surprise me
- daveFNbuck 8y agoIt seems your criticism is about Hollywood's film industry rather than the sign as a piece of public art.
