Why I Use Captcha - Rebecca Ethington

So if you’ve ever wanted to comment on my posts, or send me an email you’ve noticed I use Captcha on my site. But it’s not just any captcha, its super cool ‘give Mr. Piggy his cigar’ captcha. Which I think is hysterical.

Because I have a weird sense of humor.

As you are soon to find out.

And every time I have to pick the right plug I kind of smile a bit.

But if you are not the Captcha type, do not be dismayed, it won’t be around forever.

You see, the reason I put it on was because I’m a millionaire.

Yep, you heard right. I’m a millionaire.

I’m so rich in fact that I get daily emails about all the foreign lotteries I have won, and African officials email me specifically to have me wire them money. And well, after all that word got out and I started getting hundreds – yes! hundreds! – of invitations to buy Louis Vuitton bags, and designer sunglasses. And they all came through the blog comments. And, well, how could I resist. I bought them, and I bought so many of them, I’m not a millionaire anymore. I bought so many that I know live in a house made only of Louis Vuitton bags and sunglasses, which officially makes mine the coolest house on the block.

If only others thought of it that way.

I’ve mostly stopped winning all those great lotteries, and don’t get as many emails from wealthy dignitaries.

All because of those darned Louis Vuitton bags.

So that captcha is staying on – because I can’t help but give into peer pressure.
