But seriously.
Every single time I want to email an interesting article about the things that would attract friends/relatives to coming to experience TV and possibly rent/buy a place, the article I want to send is totally surrounded by the scum of the earth disgusting mug shots, poisonously partisan letters and columns, and sensationalizing NewsMax headlines. This is the case right now with a wonderful account of the Johnny Mathis concert. It it surrounded by utter trash.
The paper has all the trappings of a tabloid rag and I'm embarrassed to send the article links to friends around the country, because of the trash that would seem to characterize TV as something it is not. I've contacted the paper before about this, but they seem to like it this way.

I think the mug shots are a rip. Especially the ones who are Villages residents. I've thought about the homeowner/renter ratio on these. I'm thinking mostly renters, but I may be wrong. Anyone that wants to rate a particular area good, bad or in between only need do a search on sex offenders. 32162 has the most, 32163 not as much. Florida attracts the good, bad and ugly. We are not immune. The other newspaper may be a rag but the crimes they report are not made up. Personally I would want to know if there is a dirtbag on my street. I prefer not to bury my head in the sand.
