Bots don't know hot

Once upon a time, we used to torture anonymous commenters with CAPTCHAs that look like this:

Ugly and confusing as hell, isn't it? But trust me, it was a necessary evil... full explanation here.

Anyway, the old CAPTCHA mysteriously stopped working one day. So we replaced it with the current one that makes anonymous users answer simple math questions like "2 + 3 = ?" before they're allowed to comment. Still, it isn't an ideal solution, because the average chickenmafia.com visitor just isn't smart enough to do basic addition.

Then I came across hotcaptcha. Hmm, what a concept. Check it out.

I think this could work. I mean, everyone knows how to differentiate between hot and not hot, right? Well, probably everyone except His Royal Highness Prince Charles. Have you seen his wife? Heh.

Ugh...

Stick to math...
Plus the switch to men button doesn't work. Discrimination! =P

Hmm

It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. Weird.

But it's not like we care about the male version anyway, heh.

What if my taste is horrible?

I didn't try it out, but looking at the demo photoes, I'm screwed, I would pick four girls sometimes :-/

And this thing would totally fail after enough booze consumed, I guarantee that!

You do have a point

But math questions wouldn't be easy either after a few bottles of beer, right? :-P

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I especially hate the ones taht Yahoo has. If any of you play Yahoo games you will know what I'm talking about. The codes are so close together and unclear you cant tell what it says.
