Google Analytics Event Tracking Won't Work

For the life of me, I can't get google event tracking to work. I'm trying to track clicks on certain images in my site. I've waited a number of days, I've tried using firebug and google chrome debugger with no luck. I would be really, really indebted if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. My code is below. Thank you so much.

You are using the relatively new universal analytics tracking code (analytics.js) but the event tracking code is for the older analytics version (ga.js). Either use the older version of analytics code or use the proper event tracking code for universal analytics:

instead of:

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Click', 'FemaleHugAddicted']);"

Use (you can use spaces for the category / action / label fields):

onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Click', 'Female Hug Addicted', 'optional label name');"
