Is there a clever use for porn? - Oh yeah baby

Its not often that you bring both of these words together -clever and porn - but today I came across a posting on Read/Write Web (www.readwriteweb.com) that illustrates just this.
The contest spammers have come up with a very clever way of circumventing CAPTCHAs - and yes ? using porn.
How? Well they have linked their robots to a web page which provides the user with a visual of a woman who progressively reveals her clothing for every CAPTCHA that they complete. The cleverness is the fact that the CAPTCHA is being fed to the site from the robots which are encountering them on foreign sites. As the users complete the CAPTCHA test - the robots are able to give the right answer and continue forward.
