Something happened at the CBS 2 / KCAL 9 Studio City location and the entire building smells like poo. We thought it was the L.A. River but no, no it is not.

With a building full of investigative reporters in the immediate vicinity of the poo-stench, we're sure someone will quickly discover its source; we'll be monitoring both their website and their local TV presence for breaking developments about either the plumbing disaster or disgestively distressed employee responsible, as well as for real-time reactions from those most profoundly affected by the olfactory disaster.

UPDATE: The smell has now been more vividly described as "like [a] rotting port-a-potty after a 3 day Phish concert."

UPDATE 2: We're now told the stench is due to an "exhaust problem." Hopefully, they'll figure out a way to use that exhaust system to direct the "rotting port-a-potty" smell out of the building so that everyone doesn't have to spend the rest of their Friday inhaling tainted air.

We all know that Hollywood stinks, and today it ain't just the bums. Hollywood High School laid manure down on their football field today, and the stench has permeated every nook and cranny of Hollywood and Highland complex. The tourist reactions are priceless.

We can imagine why tourists are confused, as nearly every quality guidebook steering visitors through that section of Hollywood Boulevard mentions the area's signature "Smell of a Million Broken Dreams," always described in terms of stale urine fumes wafting off well-trodden Walk of Fame stars; being suddenly confronted by the unmistakable stench of freshly spread manure probably has them thinking that they've wandered far off their recommended path.
