CAPTCHA-22

So there's this telethon for cancer that will be airing tomorrow night. They've got a web page set up for donations as well:

https://www.standup2cancer.org/Default.aspx

The form has a visual-only CAPTCHA that must be completed in order to submit the form. They realized, however, that this would be an issue-- they've got a "What's this?" link next to the CAPTCHA, and clicking on this states:

"If you are a visually impaired user or still need help, please contact us."

The "contact us" link goes here: http://su2c.standup2cancer.org/contact

Notice any problems? Like... oh, I don't know, the fact that the contact page also has a visual-only CAPTCHA? ::facepalm::

Edited 2010/09/10 @ 8:40 PM to add: And now the contact page that they're referring people to is down because of server overload, while the donation page is still there and still has an inaccessible CAPTCHA. If only they had just made it accessible to begin with...
