Is There Anything Worse Than Captcha?

What is it with these things?  Is it advertising?  A sobriety checkpoint?  I don't get it.  I know my username and password, isn't that enough.  Can I give you my mother's maiden name instead?  I got that one in the bank.  This shit pops up on my usual blogger account *cough* thanks a lot *cough* and I proceed on the road this usual bullshit sends me.  "Thrand" could be a person, place, or thing.  Don't care, I can read the word.  I go to the next word only to find out it's not a word at all.  It's some National Treasure code bullshit.  No thanks.  I'll use my buddy's Blogger account to post instead.  Maybe next time Captcha, maybe next time.

P.S. - Oh, I can just listen to the audio clip instead?  Tempting, but no thank you.

  1. CAPTCHA is the cancerous tumor clinging to the face of blogging. I cannot stand the things and the shocking regularity I need to strain my eyes to fill the bastards in. I mean, surely unless ou are getting 100,000s of views a week you don't even need one? I am sure the hardcore spammers have bigger fish to fry!

    I have recently started using CAPTCHA bypass software called RUMOLA to prevent my punching in my laptop screen with frustration. I would recommend it, just reads and fills in all CAPTCHA automatically! You can get it at skipinput.com. Hope this helps
