There's a post on This Is Broken that hits a little close to my heart. It's a sign that appears in the Bethel, CT public library. Bethel is next to the town I grew up in. I used to spend a lot of time in Bethel, since I worked at Loree's Kitchen, which is very close to the library.
This Is Broken shows a sign that is posted in the library, pointing people to the children's area and adult videos. Um, yes.
Now, having worked in Library-land for so long, I know exactly what the librarians were thinking. No, Bethel Library doesn't have an XXX movie section. They simply divide their collections into "adult" and "children," meaning the audience for those items. This is yet another example of internal language showing through to the public.
