The Purloined Liver

Ah, our literalistic public servants! But notice that CNN itself is evasive: it doesn't confess to understanding the "let speeders accelerate to an early death so we can get their organs" subtext of the sign, but it doesn't back up the folks who obviously don't get it, either. Ignorance of ignorance is bliss.
