File talk:De Wallen.png

I'm only putting this here because the original uploaded title of the picture, "xxx porn post" might be a little misleading as to what the picture actually represents. Though it doesn't claim otherwise in the actual "description" of the picture, I feel it should be pointed out (given its use in the De Wallen article) that "XXX" in this context doesn't mean "hardcore" or more specifically "hardcore pornography", as in some English countries. A vertical XXX is part of the official Amsterdam coat of arms; as such "XXX" is written on buildings, streets, and street posts all over Amsterdam, and not just in De Wallen. I'm sure in some ways this shouldn't need to be pointed out, but I've had to explain such in similar snaps from the area -- the juxtaposition of the red-light districts and "XXX" seems to create an assumption. 99.244.123.31 (talk) 06:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
