CNN learned a lesson the hard way to cap off this week, today making a mistake the internet won't soon forget (Feb. 3).
In a promotional tweet linking to their announcement regarding Faith Evans's upcoming collaboration with a posthumous Biggie, the media's Twitter account accidentally confused the R&B staple with her polar opposite, country singer Faith Hill.
While CNN was quick to correct the mistaken tweet, the damage was done and we all know that Twitter can be an unforgiving place.
Take a look at some of the most hilarious reactions to the social media blunder in the posts below.
