Take that, spammer

Over the past few days, an anonymous asshole has been trying to post hundreds (or maybe thousands... I lost count) of spam comments on chickenmafia.com. For a while, I tried to ignore those little pieces of spam. But they kept coming. The idiot just won't stop. So I finally decided to do something about it.

I decided to use a popular anti-spam weapon invented by some geeks from Carnegie Mellon. It's called CAPTCHA, which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing-Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart. Shouldn't that be CAPTTTCHA? Dyslexic geeks.

Anyway, starting now, if you try to post an anonymous comment on this site, you'll see this:

The idea here is that humans will have no problem reading the word, while spambots will get totally confused. At least that's how it's supposed to work. I don't know about you, but all those squiggly lines make me dizzy.

I think I need to go throw up now. But I guess a bit of nausea is a small price to pay if it means that I'll never see that stupid spammer again.

We'll see if this works.
