I don't think so. I wasn't that close, and by the time I saw what they were doing I was driving through the intersection.
The narrative I concocted in my own head is that these two guys had travelled a long way to see TV with their own eyes, having seen and read all of the hype that abounds about this place, in newspaper articles and on YouTube, and just had to take a picture to show their friends and loved ones back home that they actually had arrived at the gates of the mythical land known as "The Villages".
You raise an interesting point though. My take on this is that now that nearly everyone has a very nice camera handy this is no longer so much of an "Asian" thing as it is an "everyone" thing. It's like, unless you take a selfie, you weren't really there.
