"Join this contest and help animal cruelty!!" Stepanie tweeted.
Come again?
Luckily, it appears as if she noticed her mistake almost immediately and posted the following: "Yes to fight animal cruelty! Im sorry that was indeed a typo!!!"
And then again, 20 minutes later, she clarified once more, "To help STOP animal cruelty."
Everyone got that?
