Landes ordered T-shirts for the August 19 giveaway and accidentally spelled IronPigs with a "u" instead of an "i". After confessing to his mistake, Landes pointed to his mobile phone's auto-correct feature as the main culprit.
"In what was a simple typo by me, we are now forced to become the 'IronPugs' for this day," Landes said. "It had to have been the auto-correct on my mobile phone. We've all been there, right? Now, like any pig, I have mud on my face."
