oh man, I haven't seen this one before, and it just makes me laugh. I'm in Kazakhstan right now, where the horse is a very valuable and honored animal, but they also eat it. So, that makes it worth one more laugh for me.

seriously, what would you be saying that this little animation would relate to? Besides beating horse's of course. lol

Beating a dead horse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Flogging a dead horse" redirects here.

"Beating a dead horse" is an idiom that means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile.

The first recorded use of the expression with its modern meaning is by British politician and orator John Bright, referring to the Reform Bill of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in Parliament, and about which Parliament was singularly apathetic. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to flog a dead horse to make it pull a load. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the Globe, 1872, as the earliest verifiable use of flogging a dead horse;

"For..twenty minutes..the Premier..might be said to have rehearsed that..lively operation known as flogging a dead horse."
