WAIT
Just googled 'distorted images website registration' CAPTCHA
OK so they're free apparently which is great but they need some work.
Problem: Trying to make a new Blogger acct today for this Blog, I mistyped the CAPTCHA. Not in haste. Not for fun. I couldn't read it. This is a problem...it's so good, it keeps even the right people out (and not just the evil bots).
Solution: Why don't CAPTCHA's make registration more effective fun and even more secure by asking intelligent questions? Maybe a current event you HAVE to know. Or give 3 options for questions to answer if the q might be too intelligent. Show a pic of GW Bush and ask people 'who is this?' or ask where the Olympics are this summer (might be too intelligent so then you need options)
Anyway, just my 2 cents on this for now.

This type of CAPTCHA has already been developed, if you look at captcha.net and the wiki entry for CAPTCHA. The primary issue in implementing/deploying such a system is the need to find a content base that is effectively infinite or easily generated. That becomes tricky for something based off unique, original (i.e., not directly derived from text) images. Also, it's a lot easier to just use the current system.
The only image-based CAPTCHA that's really being used involves picking the kitten out of a bunch of animal pictures.
