I must be losing my mind... (no jokes please)

Ok, I'm checking out the various new posts on A2K and I just finished reading something Timber wrote about the King of England during the American Revolution (he seemed angry, Timber did) and I clicked on the New Posts button, just to refresh the screen and see if anything new had surfaced.

I noticed movement on the right side of my screen. You know those little games you see sometimes where they try to entice you to win a plasma tv by doing some silly animated trick such as pushing a penguin into the water or riding a bull or some such nonsense? Well, this one was a cowboy, riding a horse, and a bull is running alongside him. The cowboy is supposed to lasso the bull. That's where you come in -- by moving the cursor up or down and catching up to the bull, then releasing the rope, you try to lasso the bull.

These things are always designed so that you can't miss, and once you lasso the bull the words CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE WON A PLASMA TV!! will scream across the screen and then they take you on a path where they lead you on a trail of deception.

So, I'm bored and I figure I'll quick lasso the bull and then move back to the A2K stuff. I move the cursor super quick in an upward motion and the friggin horse stumbles, his leg snaps like a try twig, and the rider is thrown over the horse's head and into the fence and you hear this sickening noise as his neck is broken and several bones rip through the side of his shirt and jeans. The guy is obviously dead and the horse is rolling around on the ground in anguish. There is friggin blood everywhere.

I am shocked. The bull is long gone and as I stare, mesmerized, at the carnage on my screen, all of a sudden a bunch of people come racing from both sides of the screen to attend to the fallen victims. There is a lady with both arms around the dead guy and she is weeping uncontrollably. She turns and looks up, right at me, and shakes her fist as she screams, "You heartless bastard!! You killed my boyfriend for a friggin! PLASMA tv?! I hope you burn in hell!!!"

Now I can hear the wailing of sirens from approaching ambulances and I quickly hit new posts and check out the "Where Am I?" thread.

Then I went back to the main screen. The rider was back, chasing the bull. Everything seemed normal.

Did I imagine all this ****?

Or am I losing my mind?

Help me out here.
