Ooops we did it again.

A now-infamous ad that appeared in the Nov. 21 edition of The Comox Valley Record promoting the Comox Valley Christmas Parade, and more specifically, 鈥淧ictures with Satan鈥� (Santa typo), has gone viral and is now making the rounds on late-night television.

On the Nov. 27 edition of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Meyers referred to the ad during his monologue.

鈥淎 newspaper in Canada ran a Christmas ad this week and misspelled Santa鈥檚 name as Satan,鈥� he said.

鈥淲eird, that鈥檚 so weird. 鈥楾he same thing happened to me at Starbucks鈥�, said Kellyanne Conway,鈥� he joked, as a red Starbucks cup with Satan written on it flashed on the screen, in reference to the White House counselor.

In the Nov. 25 edition of the , a story referred to the ad as 鈥溾�� the typo from hell.鈥�

It鈥檚 not the first time a page of the paper has been the talk of comedy shows.

An Aug. 19, 2011 Record story with the headline: 鈥淩ain biggest factor in flooding鈥� was picked up by then-Tonight Show host Jay Leno as part of his Headlines segment which highlighted silly headlines, embarrassing typos and tasteless ads from newspapers all over the world.

And while our goal at The Record is to cover the news, not make the news, , everyone in the Comox Valley and beyond now knows about our upcoming Christmas parade.
