I don't understand. The Villages is promoted in the same way as any other sellable goods is promoted. If my grandfather was a butcher he would advertise his pork chops and sausages to sell. He would be pleased that cousin George worked for him and that he made money and fed people.

I am not understanding what "is dark and unattractive".
