CAPTCHA's are always annoying, no matter what. So why not make some money. Lots of new companies out there offering CAPTCHA ads.

While you're right that all CAPTCHAs are annoying, the CAPTCHA ads are a whole different level of annoying. I think you'd lose more goodwill than you'd gain in money from doing this.
depends, I believe it will depend on what the user has to type.
I disagree. I'd find an ad in my CAPTCHA to be sleazy regardless of what I had to type. It's a bad idea, full stop.
