I can understand the public safety argument, but then again...if I see the big orange cones, and a traffic flashing sign...I pretty much work out that I'm headed into construction all on my own. For me, it would depend on the message that was pre-empted.
"Construction ahead - 1000 ft"...I could care less. At that point I'm screwed anyway, so I'd prefer the laugh.
"Caution! Road ends in abrupt cliff just over next hill" - probably a dangerous thing.
However, I understand why they have to say that it's a bad thing and that they are going to be out to find the perpetrators - having every highway sign hacked wouldn't be useful, and there probably are times that it would lead to danger. In this case, or the one pony linked, I don't really see the big deal. Made me laugh; I'd love to see that on the way to work.
