worst captcha ever

I was trying to download a file from the evil Rapidshare (who make you wait about 2 painful minutes before giving you the file) and just after the wait time is over, I get a Captcha looking like this:

Does it really need to be this hard? Are you telling me that it has come down to us, hiding domestic animals in our captcha characters in order to hold off bots? Plus, there are only 3 “letters” in that image but its asking for four.

This was what I found from one of the rapidshare users out in the wild world of blogging. His agony is understandable but think of Rapidshare guys, you just keep milking them out with some or other leeching software. So, they are coming up with their own preparations.
