The people in Jonestown were not lured there by KoolAid. They were ordered to drink the poisoned beverage or be shot in the head. Your unthinking words refer to a very sad and tragic occurrence. It is not a joke.
The Jonestown cult members were forced to drink Flavor-Aid laced with cyanide, NOT Kool-Aid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor_Aid

The Jonestown tragedy has nothing to do with being enraptured by The Villages, aka 'drinking the Kool-Aid'.

I sipped the Kool-Aid while visiting The Villages. I like the sound of the turn of phrase and find it humorous, descriptive and appealing.
