Not stupid; just fashionable.  "What Scott Brown couldn't do, the Browning Hi-Power will."

he correctly notes that the installation stickers are not for any traditional ambulance, fire, or other emergency response.  Then he omits the possibility of horse and identifies a three-headed zebra that shoots lasers from another dimension.

I didn't get that far.  I did get as far as "MARTIAL LAW" (note all caps) and I followed the link:  "The lies and the cover-up: 'We are dating the road signs.'"  On the other hand, his explanation of the supposed quadrant code is clever in a low-tech sort of way.

you mean where on the sign the sticker is placed? 

I would assume there is a spec ("place in lower right corner") which is obeyed about 75% of the time, and the rest of the time the placement is random because the employee in charge of that is part of the secret New World Order five minutes away from lunch break.

I don't know if I'd go that far in intelligence.  More like "guh".

This has been discussed ad nauseam for the last 9 years.  Consider it locked.
