Help me CAPTCHA comment spam

If you leave a comment on any our Driving with DaddyMom posts, you’ll notice there’s now a required CAPTCHA field. I didn’t want to do this. But, in the past three days, I’ve received over 30 spam comments. Similar to the spam you get in email, these comments are generic kudos created and sent by “spambots” to generate reciprocating links for some weasel’s website. You never see them because I report them as spam and move on. But, the frequency of them has risen from bothersome to irritating. CAPTCHA may mean an extra step for you, but it’s defeat for spambots. Thanks for understanding.
