Another piece of Americana bites the dust.

Quote:

Ford Motor Co. will cease production of its 72-year-old Mercury brand by the end of 2010 after years of declining sales.
Mercury's death is the latest in a string of casualties as Detroit carmakers try to cut costs and invest more heavily in fewer offerings. By shedding a mid-range brand that was more and more irrelevant to buyers, the automaker can focus on accelerating sales of Ford and beefing up its luxury Lincoln brand.

Pay attention to Uranus (got it?)

^^^^^^^^^^
And "further out" there from Uranus, PLUTO's friggin' goofy.

Maybe Mars will bail them out and take a 50% stake in the business.

Nope, he'll never die. Hes' still hanging with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, & Jim Morrison. I believe that "planet" Mercury, like Pluto, was demoted (or perhaps it was consumed by Sol). We need a sequel to the following:

I looked at the first 20 second or so of that youtube. Is it really true what they say about the youngsters and teenagers in America ?

I'm surprised Mercury outlasted some other American companies

You should really watch at least the first 60 seconds. The video is actually very entertaining. It turns out that these LG15 videos were staged (ie LG15 was actually an actress hired to perform these videos).
