I REFUSE TO BELIEVE that the Google employees who created the "bicycle" & "motorcycle" CAPTCHAS were "good people." [View all]

EASILY the MOST LOATHSOME of the Google CAPTCHAS, it's an 80% chance that if you get either one of them, you're going to get "TRY AGAIN."

I just had that happen. So I kept clicking "SKIP" and they ping-ponged between BICYCLES and MOTORCYCLES.

I'll listen to any well-reasoned rebuttal but I'm telling you right now, I'm going to be hard to convince it you tell me these people were "good people."
