You”ve seen CAPTCHA”s, those blurred words that you have to decipher on some web registration forms, to prove that you”re not a bot. Well, it works with people too, not just words.
The site Hotcaptcha has created a rather amusing mash-up in which the CAPTCHA”s are pictures of people and you have to pick the three that are Hot. It”s simple, if you pick the balding fatty, you”re a bot; but if you can discern the real hotties from the losers, then you”re utterly and truly human. To use Hotcaptcha on your site simply copy some lines of code into a form on your site; you can even choose the gender of your Captcha. And it”s free. While it doesn”t help to digitize books or anything like that Hotcaptcha will definitely keep your readers enthralled.

Some Questions About Hotcaptcha.com
I doubt more serious sites will opt for this type of Captcha. It”s amusing, but having to pick out hotties might prove offensive to some, notably those who aren”t so hot.
