LOS ANGELES-WongDoody has launched a campaign for Youbet.com, a horse racing and wagering Internet site.

A voice is heard yelling, “OK. Widow snatcher. Get going. Move.” Fearing an otherworldly presence, the man hightails it. Turns out a neighbor is cheering on a horse named “Widow Snatcher” in a live race on Youbet.com.
