Ha! That brand is called 'Lynx' over here. Same advert strategy and everything. Right down to the Bom-chika-bow-wow. The Lynx effect.

Yeah, great. I knew nothing about this whole thing (don't watch any TV) so I tracked down some clips on the 'net. Boy, did I make a mistake. Aaaarggh, I can't get it out of my head. I hope I'll be wise enough to take the hint next time.

That's the one Ducks.

Turns out, it started as a French product called Axe.

Jester, more than likely, the people that review the tapes will see the "infraction" and throw it out.

We recently got our first red light cameras in the City of St. Louis: Hampton & Chippewa and Hampton & Wilson. The one at Chippewa has snapped me a couple of times, but it's been for making rights on red, which are not illegal at the intersection. Haven't gotten a ticket for them yet.

Sycamore, I believe we have 10 or more through-out the city. Personally I hate them. They make me nervous, not knowing when the light will change - so I end speeding through them just to make sure I don't get caught.

I would just exercise caution. Don't slam your brakes on necessarily, but don't fly through the light at lightning speed. The technology isn't perfect, and from what I've seen, they're fairly defensible in court.

But what if it's someone you don't like? Then you have to endure two of their songs.

do they have that thing where if they make a mistake, and play only 1 song, you can call in and win a prize?
