Curiosity Killed My Bank Account

Soooo... this is what i get for being nasty. A couple days ago I was doing a PowerPoint presentation for work and I went online to look for some ClipArt just to make my presentation pop. The ones on my computer already were so old and blah, and I needed something new and fresh. So anyway, I think I googled like "cartoon clips" or something like that and the results page provided me a vast array of free clip art to choose from so that I could jazz my slides up a bit.
Well, one thing that did catch my eye on the result page was somthing that said cartoon porn. Curiosity took over and when I clicked the link, I was completely taken aback by what I saw. Pictures and pictures of cartoons that I grew up watching and loving were depicted performing sexual acts on each other... Cartoons like the Simpsons, Family Guy, the Flinstones, Mulan (wtf??). So what did my dumbass do? I purchased a 3-day trial membership for $3.95.
Now, I'm not a big porn person, so I'm always kinda antsy when I make purchases like this because I'm scared to put my credit card info on there, but this purchase wasn't so much about the porn, it was about the intrigue of cartoons I love having sex with each other!!
So after throuroughly reading the terms and conditions and reading that if I did not cancel my subscription to the site within the 3-day trial, I would be charged as a full member at $39.95. So I browsed a bit more, laughed, sat stunned, and was flabbergasted for about 30 minutes and then clicked the link to cancel my subscription... or so I thought.

I checked my bank statement yesterday and saw that I had a charge for $39.95 as well as a charge for $3.95 from the same person.... So you know I called them people and went off right? Not only are they refunding my 39.95 and the 3.95, but they're also paying my overdraft fee lol.... Now what?

I guess my only question would be, am I the only one oblivious to the fact that there is a world of crazy cartoon porn that is really popular enough to have multiple websites? I'll never watch Cartoon Network again.
P.S. you bitches thought I was lying huh?
