Courtenay, B.C. has an entry in the latest Ripley91Ƶs Believe It Or Not publication 91Ƶ Out Of The Box 91Ƶ thanks to a notorious Christmas ad that ran in the Comox Valley Record on Nov. 21, 2019.
The infamous 91ƵPictures With Satan91Ƶ ad made headlines across the country, and beyond - even meriting a mention on the NBC television show Late Night With Seth Meyers.
Just when we thought the gaffe had been forgotten, along comes Ripley91Ƶs.
The entry was brought to our attention by Facebook follower Bo Waite.
91ƵMy son found this entry in this year91Ƶs Ripley91Ƶs Believe It or Not,91Ƶ said Waite, and attached the photos.
The entry reads 91ƵMEET SATAN - A spelling mistake in a newspaper for a Christmas fair in Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada, accidentally invited people to take photos with Satan!91Ƶ
The original ad prompted thousands of comments, shares, and likes on social media channels such as Twitter, and even spurred a few local residents to dress up as the devil himself for the Christmas parade that year.
Well this is awkward.
