***An Amazingly Poor Commercial: "The Villages"***
Stardate: 0501.26

Posted on 01/26/2005 5:42:34 AM PST by The Wizard

So, I just want to share how NOT to do something with you all

In Central Florida a group is advertising a place called "The Villages" as a great place to live.....BUT

They don't tell you where it is, and when you call the number, even THEY don't know where it is.....

Now imagine all the money these fools paid to the ad agency to develop the ad and campaign, the money they paid to the stations to run the ad, and the phone company to answer the calls, and yet nowhere is the location of the "Villages" known.....

I don't know about anyone else, but when I find information hard to get there usually is a reason......the town the "Villages" is located near must be a dump......

After checking into this further it's easy to see why they don't tell you Leesberg......that's not the upscale community like Citrus Hills or Black Diamond.......the address would put folks off....

I saw an ad for some hamburger place called McDonald's. They didn't say where it was, either. Looked like an expensive ad, too.

I hear they've got a rather harsh penalty for ending your lease early too.

It is not near a dumpy or swampy area at all.

But I thought you said it was in Florida.
