There was a very nice story about TV in the New York Post. :1rotfl:

A similar story was in the Orlando Sentinel and on WESH-2 News and CNN Worldwide 2 years ago.

I can't believe this article has surfaced again - and the disgusting comments.

I think we should all send a comment to The Post with our positive testimonies.
I just did.

Gee I don't know islandgal. Those 3 PM monthly meetings at that restaurant are pretty risque. An then there's those all afternoon parties that go on till after ABC News with Charles Gibson is over.
:blahblahblah::popcorn: They gotta write about something to try to promote sales. :rolleyes:

I convinced my wife to move down here because of those articles. Neither one us has found those people in the articles, but we keep trying.

Posted on another thread about this. Fox news picked it up. Makes TV sound sleazy! Maybe less people will come as kids won't want "Mom or Dad subjected to what goes on in TV"! Remember different places your kids wanted to go but you said "NO! I've heard what goes on there"! :laugh:

Hi Everyone,

My Hubby and I are frequent visitors to the Villages from NY and as soon as I retire we will probably move down (hopefully). This article was on page 17 of the NY Post. It was really funny to see such a big article about the Villages. We didn't know that there was so much going on that we really didn't know about. I guess there is a big sub-culture in the Villages. As I always say to each their own and whatever floats your boat. We always said that the Villages is the place to be...

Just recycled material that's been around for some time. Must have been a slow news day!

Since when do your kids have the final say on what you do? Unless they want to pay for it of course:laugh:

I think SEX IN THE VILLAGES is nobody's business except the consenting adults. I resent having people think that men are fighting over women with canes and that anyone would lose their dentures. I say to the babies eating this Pablum. GROW UP!

Without a doubt! This same story gets boring time and again. And likely this holds true all over 'Retirement Land,' and the fact that TV is so big makes the numbers (likely not the percentages) higher....

The Sales Office probably gets a significant increase in inquiries whenever that story appears(reappears).
If I were cynical, I might think there would be a connection.

As Russ said it's old news

Seniors with STDs having sex in golf carts and parking lots? :yuck:

I'm thinking that the people who write this stuff have vivid imaginations.

And I thought the most exciting thing that happened in TV was mahjong lessons. :laugh:
