Bizarre video about TV
 
When the video starts by identifying a St Charles place home as a mobile home you can guess what follows. Words cannot describe the video adequately. This is recent

A hit piece. Sensationalism at its finest, and the truth be damned.

Area churches filling Christmas shoeboxes for underprivileged children, Villagers volunteering to tutor local children, "honey-do" programs where Villagers with physical handicaps preventing them from doing basic things like shopping, yardwork and light maintenance can depend on the help of other Villagers to do those things, etc., are far more characteristic of The Villages than this piece of garbage, but unfortunately people click on the garbage first. Sleaze sells. People helping people often doesn't.

As Winston Churchill once observed, "a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on". And American society 2024 version seems to have an insatiable appetite for the lies.

I read some of the transcript. Pure BS about what he repeatedly calls Suter County. Or, what the transcript writer calls Suter County. The speaker may be saying Sumter.

EugeneF 09-28-2024 11:56 AM

He is just angry at everything!!!! I guess people didn't cater to him while he was here.

Or. ....he doesn't live here and is jealous..........Or....he is a realtor and can't sell new builds.............or he thinks that just because there is a majority of people here with similar ideas, that they are bad ideas, or he is a developer for another over 55 area..................OR................he is a danged kid...a little snot, who hasn't been........ummmm I guess I can use the word; Redirected?!!?

manaboutown 09-28-2024 12:14 PM

Perhaps he works for ABC.

Taltarzac725 09-28-2024 12:51 PM

I do not get out much but only remember one fist fight between Villagers. This was at a local dog park over some petty disagreement and one of those involved worked weekends at the antique warehouse in Mt. Dora. We have been in the Villages since July of 2005.

Tustin714 09-28-2024 12:54 PM

I got through about 5:00 before deciding enough neurons had been damaged by that weapons-grade ignorance.

Toymeister 09-28-2024 01:53 PM

Report the video to youtube so we can get this hateful video removed

MrChip72 09-28-2024 02:13 PM

I'm surprised that there's very few comments on the YouTube post pointing out the specific inaccuracies.

Velvet 09-28-2024 02:49 PM

I was listening to this video but there was so much bull **** in it that I had to stop half way. The narrator often confuses the whole of Sumter county with The Villages portion, not realizing that TV is actually made up of other counties too. He takes 5 or 6 case out of a population of 150,000 to try to illustrate as a common occurrence… etc etc. it is HE that is looking for a confrontation. I would guess paid by a competitor?

Shipping up to Boston 09-28-2024 03:17 PM

Every time you create threads like this and post links to what is, IMO, a troll piece.....you ‘let the bad guys win’!
TV, with its 150K pop., has had documentaries, movies, videos and local ‘fish wraps’ creating similar narratives and editorials for years. Yet at least here on this forum, it’s the same dozen or so that comment on it and create the ‘buzz’...where is the outrage from the super majority of Villages residents? It doesn’t exist because content ‘creators’ like this know their audience. I fall into the super majority of....who cares! Save your energy for the next one....which we all know there will be others by the aforementioned....except when it does, go for a walk/run/swim, play pickle ball or a round of golf....and let it slide!

The guys sounds like he barely graduated the 8th grade.

AMB444 09-28-2024 03:18 PM

Huh. I haven't lived here long but the people I've met have been very friendly and fun to get to know.

I'm looking forward to meeting more people in the classes, clubs and activities that I've signed up for and have loved every minute of living here!

Marathon Man 09-28-2024 03:39 PM

You are helping the guy out by asking people to watch the video. The best thing you can do, unless you want to help him, is to remove the link.

Taltarzac725 09-28-2024 04:34 PM

It is best to get the facts out there especially on Talk of the Villages.

I can't help but notice that the video on the cart path seems as tho the driver is drunk. He keeps swerving into the bushes. Then, when coming to a stop sign, he goes right thru without even slowing down. And some of the video isn't even in The Villages. It's on Hwy 44. When describing the cart paths, he has it all wrong. He obviously doesn't understand round-abouts and the need for golf carts to stay off of them. There is so much more wrong with his description of The Villages, I can't even list everything here.

villager7591 09-29-2024 06:21 AM

Another uninformed idiot wanting to tear down TV driven by jealousy, IMHO.

If everyone would revisit the video, & on the bottom scroll right & click on the “Report” button then click on what you think is the problem & report it…it will be taken down.

It’s a long way from accurate. A waste of time.

Jameson 09-29-2024 07:03 AM

Well that was fun in a weird way. He reminds of that comic strip The Born Loser. The video at around 40 minutes of him and his wife did not surprise me at all.

Chitown 09-29-2024 07:32 AM

Wow, talk about a person with a chip on his shoulder. He is a mentally confused young man.

Definitely a lot of made up information. I looked into his channel and he states this is for entertainment. He thinks this is funny. Not very funny to us who live here. But now he is getting a lot of clicks on his You Tube channel since someone posted it and we are curious to see what he said. So guess it works.

Ditto. He is making a buck probably the only way he knows how to make a buck. Besides sounding a bit hung over with marbles in his mouth mispronouncing words over and over, he couldn’t find one single positive thing to say about the community. Maybe he just needs to move on and keep his opinions to himself.

I’d say he used a lot of dramatization and a lot of satire!!. I would suggest he might want to go back to grade school to learn how to spell.

Yet, again, you all are taking his bait on what appears to be an empty hook! Who is the real ‘idiot’? YouTube is a revenue stream....and you have plenty of ‘creators’ within our own borders who operate under the same terms. Doesn’t matter if it’s satire, fact or fiction...you all just inflated his piggy bank and his ego!

I recommend Michael and Tiffany (TVE) on YouTube for Villages content. No agenda and a nice couple!

If the creator of the so called video you are referring to had a brain, he would be arrested for smuggling. Years ago another individual wrote about the great life grandparents were having in The Villages, but he thought they should be back home watching their grandchildren. Talk about morons.

That is actually a pretty good book written around 2004-2005. The Villages is very different now.

I did this, reported the video as hateful and misinformation. Thank you for suggesting this.

Some YouTube videos restrict posts to subscribers of the channel. This forces you to subscribe to the channel before commenting, thus adding to the channel's subscription count.

Not this video. No subscription needed, just a YouTube login.

As a test I made a comment then deleted it.

This is the type of garbage that might be used to "teach" AI about places such as The Villages. That's scary - because this video is one of the worst pieces of garbage that I have ever started to watch!

justjim 09-29-2024 10:53 AM

What a “spin” on The Villages. Bizarre, and filled with inaccurate information and way too long. Maybe one or two minutes that I could identify with but overall a piece of garbage. There is little filter on You-Tube.

He definitely has an ax to grind. Interesting he says that he lives in a gated SW Florida community.

I remember reading about an assault at one of the country clubs when a villager assaulted another villager thanked he had scratched his car.

CarlR33 09-29-2024 08:13 PM

I did not watch it but did he mention the new Hooters coming to TV!

PersonOfInterest 09-30-2024 04:42 AM

If you're an intrusive, obnoxious person poking around the Villages this is the view you're likely to receive. A person's personality is usually reflected back to them.
