Cute. Not funny funny but funny cute. A few smiles, no real laughs. Not sure what was derogatory or even mildly offensive. If this got him fired, The Villages Media has a problem.

Maybe "the kid" was ready to move on anyway. I thought the video was pretty creative. We have a grandson just a year younger than the kid---I could see him doing something like that if he was rather bored with his job. I suppose the "head" of media believes they have a certain image to uphold.

We do not know what happen before or after the video so a real judgement is difficult to make regarding the firing.

What's the source of the information that he was actually working for the Villages Media Group?? There is nothing on the kid's Facebook page that he ever worked here?

OP, what say you?

[Bogie Shooter]

He lives in TV, why?
Maybe he should just move on if he finds it so offensive.

If he was in high school and turned this in I would have given him an A. But he's way out of high school so it needs work. You have to start someplace.

I don't think it's offensive. He's up there dancing with his grandfather. That takes a lot of moxy and respect. If I was his grandfather, I'd be feeling pretty good.

If someone figures out a way to help this kid get his job back, I'll help too.

I didn't see anything wrong with it. I have met him and he is a very nice young man.

This piece is a great advertisement for the Villages. It shows lots of people having fun-whats not to like.

I can't imagine why a 24 year old person would want to live here unless he was financially needy. This place sure isn't geared for that age group.

[Bigben007]

I thought it was cute certainly didn't deserve to be fired.

I chuckled a few times, and I wasn't offended. Let's face it. We are a bit unique! I didn't see anything that I thought was mean spirited. Surely we can laugh at ourselves a little.

I'm brand new to TV. I found it amusing and plan to share it with everyone, especially those that think TV is strange. He has a great sense of humor. Not offense to me.

Sorry to see that. Redwitch is right that they have a problem of some kind there if they fired a 24 year old for posting this on social media. Maybe, if he sold it to the Orlando Sentinel and it was the property of the Villages Media Group? Other than some kind of intellectual property beef, it makes no sense to me.

Me either.
