Hollywood sign reads 'OHLLYWODO' !!!

Anyone else notice the Hollywood sign when Edward Norton first flies past it in a helicopter?

I thought I was losing my mind at first, then wondered if the letters had been mixed up as a joke in the CGI studio. I had to rewind it several times before I could begin to get my head around it and still didn't fully believe it until I saw an overhead map: http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=ppp3hs545w1x&lvl=19.82&dir=272.89&sty=b&form=LMLTCC

Clever optical illusion!

Its because the angles of the letters are not even and in certain shots of diff movies it appears to be scrambled. Its the same in friends with benefits too

Well the big dipper would also look alot different when viewed from some other angle.
