Someone stubbed their toe on a stop sign and thought that it would be helpful if there were a government sponsored program to rehabilitate toe-stubbing and another sign next to the stop sign warning the errant walker of the dangers of toe-stubbery in the area.
If this were real, it would, of course, be in the uber-safe confines of Boulder, Colorado; the fascist-liberal capital of the mid-west.
I can tell, when driving in Denver, which of the squishy idiots walking out into a busy street has gotten used to the way crosswalks in Boulder work as opposed to the way they work in the rest of the world. Somehow, the average Boulderite pedestrian seems to have a disproportionate sense of entitlement due to the fact that they are at a distinct disadvantage in battle with large metal objects... They seem to think that because there is a sign and some white lines painted on the ground that the standard first rule of crossing the street (remember from childhood; what do we do before we cross the street...) has become obsolete having been replaced with "State law: pedestrians in crosswalk have the right-of-way" signs.
You will notice the difference in the way Boulderites cross the street by the way that they will rush as quickly as possible to enter the crosswalk before the automobiles just fuck with the already overly-stressed drivers.
Their genetic potential should be removed from the pool... We should stop protecting these kinds of people from the dangers that lurk behind everyday stupidity.
We should not need a disclaimer at the end of a commercial in which cars are flying around to know that cars don't really fly.
We should not need to be warned that hot coffee is hot.
We should not need to be protected from every possible danger; we make ourselves victims by subscribing to this mentality and we make ourselves weak.
