Really annoying spam robot challenge

Okay, has anyone else had issues with the spam robot challenges? This is the step you have to do when you're not logged in and want to post to a journal that requires that you be a registered user. You are given the option to log in at the time you post.

However, they've added a new feature where you must type in the combination of letters and numbers you see on the screen to confirm that you are a human, and not a robot. I have no problem with this step, however, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE FRIGGIN' CHARACTERS.

I just tried literally 9 times with 4-5 separate combos and not one of them were accepted. The characters appear with a sort of scratchy text, I guess to throw off machines with OCR capability. Well guess what LJ -- it throws off us humans too!
