Hollywood

Hollywood is located in the City of Los Angeles. As many major movie studios have long been located there, it is identified with the movie industry. In fact, the studios, actors and other parts of the industry are referred to as a whole as "Hollywood". A large sign in the hills above Hollywood spelling out the word is instantly recongizable from scenes in hundreds of movies and TV shows. Among liberals the word is associated with various concepts including the glamor of movie stars, the artificiality of the world depicted in most American movies, and movies that are made as entertainment rather than art. Among conservatives Hollywood is associated with the depraved lifestyle typical of godless heathens, although it has been proven by numerous scientific studies that 93% of all the Hollywood scandal magazines sold are actually purchased in the supermarket checkout line by conservatives.
