Default The Villages is (in)famous again.

There was another article in the papers and lots of mention on TV (television) about The Villages Monday, Tues & Wed. . Three Village folks (doewsn't seem to be any connection between them) arrested for voting twice in the presidential election complete with names and photos. Their duplicate votes were not counted because the system worked as it is supposed to. . The latenight folks have been having a blast with it. Sadly another black mark for The Villages despite it was only 3 who got caught. Colbert's show Wed night monologue had a couple minutes on "life in The Villages." Funny and sad but true.

Edited 12/18 to add:
I have requested this thread be closed. It's so sad but when folks get older, the second thing to go is their sense of humor and the inability to look in the mirror and laugh at themselves. Or maybe that's just a "local thing?" I haven't seen as much as I see here in other places.


This comment from another poster pretty much covers my original intent:
Quote:
I don’t understand why people are so uptight about Colbert having a little fun at the expense of the villages way of life , for as long as I can remember comedians have gotten laughs about senior citizens living in Florida ,it’s didn’t just start with the villages.
