Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Mine too. Unless it’s my truck, it’s getting 100% gasoline. Especially generator and boat motors. No ethanol.

 

Bet you $10 this "Florida man" is actually from somewhere up north.... Hurricanes + yankees = good stuff.

 

Just wait 'til he hits a pothole

 

Maybe he had legs before he kicked his wife's ear off.

 

Touche'

Oops...

 

I saw an exploding Pinto once, very impressive.

 

WTF?





A Russian bodybuilder known as “Popeye” was destroyed in an MMA fight in three minutes by an opponent 20 years his senior.

Kirill Tereshin, 23, injected his muscles with highly dangerous synthol and developed huge, Popeye-like arms. But his ridiculous 24-inch biceps could not help him defeat blogger and actor Oleg Mongol at a gym in Abakan in Russia.

The former soldier was submitted in an MMA bout in the first round. Tereshin came out swinging and connected with some early punches, but was later clinched to the cage, taken down and tapped out after a choke.

The loss comes after Tereshin was beaten by Russian slapping champion Vasiliy “The Dumpling” Kamotskiy earlier in the year. Kamotskiy flattened Tereshin with his first punch, proving that fighting may not be his calling.

 

The problem with Kamotskiy, he has a habit of not slapping. He does a shrugged shoulder line up so that it appears he is lined up to slap. However, he pushes his shoulder into the hit. Majority of his hits end up being a slap on the ear, or full on arm to the face.

 

That is just dumb to me. Makes zero sense.

 

I agree.

Yep. Boat at dock. QT ethanol free a helluva lot cheaper than marina.

Want to bet he *still* hasn't heard the end of this from his wife?

 

Another view of that car that went off the overpass.

That's crazy. Talk about a "the sky is falling" moment.

 

Woohoo! Pictures with Satan!




EDITORIAL: Ad lacked attention to detail

If you don’t know by now about the unfortunate typo in an advertisement that ran in the Thursday, Nov. 21 edition of the Comox Valley Record, you are one of the few.

No sooner did the paper hit the stands, than the fallout began for our Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association ad promoting the events of Sunday, Dec. 1, stating “Pictures with Satan” would be available at 11:15.

Photos of the ad were being shared far and wide on social media, with the newspaper rightfully being called out for its lack of attention to detail.

There is no excuse for it, and we aren’t about to use this space to make any.

The same number of eyes proofed the ad as with anything that runs through the advertising and production departments.

Somehow, this was missed, and for that, we sincerely apologize – to the clients affected, as well as to any readers offended by the mistake.

As a newspaper, it is our responsibility to make sure the information we distribute is accurate – from the editorial department, as well as the advertising department.

We often chuckle about the typos we have caught, breathing sighs of relief when the L in “public” or the B in “Hornby” is added by the last set of eyes before going to print. Even those are not always caught.

But when it happens in an ad, it becomes all that much more blatant. They are called “display ads” for a reason. They are meant to stand out on the page. This one did that, for all the wrong reasons.

On the bright side, everyone in the Comox Valley and beyond knows when the Courtenay Christmas parade is… and the Captain Thunderpants concert should be a complete sell-out. So there’s that.

Parade is at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 1.

Pictures with Santa start at 11:15 at the Native Sons Hall.

Thanks to the Downtown Courtenay Business Improvement Association for its sponsorship of Sunday’s activities. It’s going to be a great event.
