Seattle City Light has a nice opt-in green energy program. Which is cool and all, but look at the form at the bottom of the page. Particularly the hidden form variable autoCode2. Lamest captcha ever.

Call me dense, but... what about the form?

I think they're confused about the purpose of such things.

I like the ones I've seen lately that have you answer a question, like "what's my first name?" or "5 + 9 = _". I think this could have some entertaining variants like "what color is the sky?" (allow most primary and secondary colors) or maybe giving the answer to an easy puzzle.

Heh, that might be worthy of submission to The Daily WTF.

That is bad. See PWNtcha (http://sam.zoy.org/pwntcha/) (NSFW) for some apparently better captchas that have been cracked.
