Stupid Bot-Checking Is Stupid

So today I wanted to get free tokens for a Facebook app, but I had to sign up for some crummy survey service. So I thought "Why not? I'll just setup a dummy account somewhere." S I went to GMail, and tried to register, and guess what. The bot check thing sucks.

You know the thing I'm talking about - the "Type the word you see in this box." It's not rocket science, but come on! They never simply just show you the word. It's always some weird wavy thing with blocky font that makes you work for your account. I just want free tokens for my FB app, dammit! I don't wanna have to Holmes my way through your twisted, sadistic, Machiavellian email system!

You know who you are, you Google bastards. You and your ads and your search engines and your maps. You're slowly taking over the internet and we're just expected to sit here, hypnotized at the "simplistic" and "time saving" mechanics of your machinations.

Well, not I! I will not stand for this! I will rise off my couch, venture outside and take a walk! ...To an internet cafe. That's right! I will sit in relative comfort, waited on like the big, macho, incredibly handsome and rugged man I am, and with a large, fair-trade coffee and a fresh multigrain bagel, I will tear down your virtual castle, brick by brick and free the internets from your tyrannical reign! I will not rest, I will not sleep for an instant, I won't even get up to use the washroom, until I am given what's mine by right!

Forums everywhere will sound with cries of revolution! I will fashion myself an internet Che Guevara and fight against your oppressive regime! I will don the visage of Guy Fawkes and blow your tyranny off of the web! I will eat less that Mahatma Gandhi as I try to....

Ah screw it. Can we all just agree that these people need to write that damn word clearly?

XDDD

The issue with writing the word clearly is if they do, then the bots can read it easier, too.

That'd defeat the purpose, as the bot could then actually read the word.

If they write it messily, it's much harder to write something to interpret the image this way. Or, that's the idea, I think.

Edit: Now you ingrates, since I know you're online, ought to post in that spiffy thread about the background image, and go, "Man, that rpgdemon chum, he makes some spiffy tiled background."

I would, only I hate having a background image, so my opinion doesn't matter.

But the image is spiffy, is it not? :P At the least, doesn't look tiled/jarring/noticeable. Still could use some tweaking, but it's a start.

I haven't seen a threadjack this unabashedly hard since that time Lev threadjacked that thread about how someone couldn't sleep with his fire spinning stuff.

that's why i love the Forums or websites that have "if your human type "Chicken" here"

This is the logical conclusion.

ITT: Seil doesn't understand captcha

Seil is an Internet bot.

This makes so much sense.

*Suddonly reminded of a Rooster Teeth short...*

Though they DO have an audio option for those who are having trouble normally...
