They're a google.fr image find for signs that were on ebay. Funny, huh?
Trivia for my fellow francophones: toilet paper in French is "papier hygénique" (you probably knew that). Well, l'argot for it is "papier-cul" shortened to "p-cul" and spelled out "PQ". It's like talling it TP, only colloquial.
Note that "cul" is the same word in the Americanized term "cul-de-sac", literally meaning "butt of the bag".
