Tim in MA saw this in a restroom. Perhaps the quotation marks are there because there are no "children" in an adult restroom. Or it's a well-known slogan which I don't know and they are citing without attribution.

Uhhh... whose health are we protecting if there are no children allowed in this restroom? Unborn children? The cancer they'll get from smelling our clothes? How about just pointing out smoking is illegal in the bathroom and leaving it at that?
Ugh, I hate "please think of the children" propaganda. They're your kids, not mine. I'm tempted to find that bathroom and smoke in it just out of spite, and I'm not even a smoker!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I think I'd prefer to go with, "Won't someone think of the children?" for my catchy slogan.
They're citing Mr. Adult T. Restroom, esq. Good ol' Mr. Restroom once said "Protect the health of our children."

Or is the attribution source the "Adult Restroom"?
