    What does 'Ads by Google' mean?
    It means that Google uses search-based technologies to match
    advertisements to the content and context of web pages - so the ads you
    see are related to the information you are viewing.

    Amazing. However, I'm given to understand that these sprays don't
    really work. If they encourage the morons who would want to use them
    to ignore the speed cameras and get themselves banned they may
    actually be a good thing.

    Of course the primary function of these sprays isn't to defeat speed
    cameras, it's to part fools from their money. An excellent scheme!

    I wish I could sell cans of air freshener and hairspray at those
    prices.

  4. Get clicking on those adverts. I got an E-mail from Andrea of
    Velorution about these ads. Apparently they get paid for everyone who
    visits the sites via Velorution.

    The anti speed-control mob are helping to fund Velorution. Sweet!

    And now I see that the ads are for Wiggle, Sterling House, something
    called "Dirt Life Bike Culture" and Discount Bikes. Maybe I should have
    kept my big mouth shut.
