United Church of Satan volunteers down at the food bank

A very bizarre typo appeared in a Cox-owned newspaper last week. Details here.

I can’t even imagine how insanely upset certain churches - naming no names - would be if this typo appeared in publicity describing their work at a food bank. But I admire this group’s response:

Imagine Gregg’s surprise on Tuesday morning when he received several phone calls to let him know that one of the newspapers, the Middletown (OH) Journal, had identified Gregg’s denomination as the “United Church of Satan” in a photo caption.

The caption ran correctly in the other Cox publications, which means that most likely, someone at the Middletown Journal went into their publishing system and changed the caption.

Gregg placed a call to both his writer and to his advertising rep at the paper. He says they are investigating the incident. To the newspaper’s credit, they ran an apology today. And Gregg, being a stand-up guy, isn’t upset. Bad publicity is still publicity, right?
