I mean... escorts are probably the only way that people who go to an e-sports bar are going to get any. So it's kind of a sensible advertising tie in?

Using my patent-pending unblurring technology I believe it says "Meltdown" and "College St".
What's the point of disguising something that is in your twitter username?

Those aren't sexy cars.

They're certainly never as hot as the Pinto...

They aren't ugly either. I think they were quite okay in the time they were built. If my memory isn't fucking with me, I did my first bit of driving ever (steering while sitting in dad's lap) in an Escort, albeit a bit older one, something like this:
-
@RaceProUK RS Cosworth, maybe?

I guess. I mean, the MkI looks alright:
And the MkII makes a nice rally car:
But after that, they just look a bit boring.

Badged an Escort, actually a Sierra.

@RaceProUK Who are you to tell it can't be an escort?

and here we have a bunch of morons simultaneously reconsidering whether standing right next to the tracks and videoing this on their mobile phones was really such a good idea.

@boomzilla
What is a flag?

@bb36e Flag? Footstool?

Do US schools still do that Pledge of Allegiance thing, or has that fallen out of fashion?

Yes. In fact, I participated just today! My son missed the bus and while I was there in the office waiting behind the other parents with kids in similar situations, it was time for the Pledge, and we did it together.
We also regularly say the Pledge at Scout meetings.

Yesterday evening I followed the youtube comments to a different video, and noted that here the platform is actually about level with the tracks, so there is way less snow there than I'd have expected as I'm used to the platform being ~80cm higher than the tracks.
-
@boomzilla I must admit, I do find it amusing US schools do that. I can't imagine UK schools doing a round of 'God Save the Queen' every morning
-
@RaceProUK Yeah, I've heard foreigners find it weird that lots of businesses fly flags and stuff, too.
-
@RaceProUK It was in the Christian-Democrat party campaign for the last election (in NL). They got ridiculed. Badly.

The US does have this very strong sense of patriotism, the flag of course being the defining symbol. I do understand having national pride when seeing your own flag (the Union Flag is always a pleasant sight for me, as is St' George's Cross), but the US takes it to another level.

They are, admittedly, crazy. After all, they live on a chain of active volcanoes.

I was just trying to explain why they bother to recognise our historical link to the United Kingdom.

I find this pledge thing ridiculous, I would be very upset if as a student we were asked to do something like this.
-
@fbmac Yeah, so would I if I had to pledge allegiance to your country.

Why would you pick the Mark 6 and not the Mark 5 Escort Cosworth? Or the Mark 1 Escort RS2000?

We have a saying that Ford-owners go straight to heaven. Because their hell is here on earth.

Wow.

When you see St. George's Cross these days it's usually either because the world cup is on or you've found a racist. Neither are things I associate with good times.
The union flag just tends to make me muse on patriotism and how there's no real logical reason to prefer my country over another just because I was born here
