Here's hoping that you are not talking about Lady Gaga and her meat dress. Thinking that you are referring to Chris Bosh and LeBron being trapped in a car.

Please say it ain't so !!

I'm talking about the horse racing video.

Pretty sad, if you ask me...

I was happy to see the owner so concerned about the physical welfare of her horse though.

You do realize it is a spoof right? Just a joke?

I guess the folks at Onion don't know about the "natural cover" rule for thoroughbreds. For a standardbred, that scenario would actually be a possibility...

Would have ruined the joke, don't you think?

I had the sound off, and only read some of the copy...and, although the name of the horse and the track were not familiar, I thought it was at a foreign track somewhere...

My apologies CJ...I should have known that you would not find this amusing if it was for real.

I'm sorry...and I really mean that.

[cj]

No problem. No sound explains it. I couldn't figure out how anyone that knows racing would think it was real.

LOL - A great quote.
