I have only seen it rarely here, and usually on hand-written signs like your 
link. I think some people here (and you know who you are ;-), for some 
reason, get it into their head that quotes are emphasis instead of 
*de*emphasis. Professionals still know better.

It's less common than seeing you're and your messed up, or there and their, 
for example.
