Tyler, websites everywhere blacklist offensive words (and with some regularity, look and sound-alikes) from the random captcha generator...
I don't personally care, you don't, but if we offend people needlessly it's an oops. We need some elements of the site to meet Lowest Common Denominator rather than most enlightened participant.
That all said, it is possible the screenshot was a fake; the brand new user posted two things on-wiki; one a faked source for a BBC actress article, and two the screenshot for the captcha.
On-wiki conclusion was we were trolled. Not sure if that means the screenshot was a photoshop job or a real one, whether that was part of the troll or not. But the actual edit was a good solid troll.

It's a CAPTCHA, not an article or piece of actual content. If people are actually getting offended by randomly generated CAPTCHAs I think they need to find something more worthwhile to complain about.

There's a blacklist that has been included with FancyCaptcha for a few months, although I don't know whether it's the same as the one the WMF uses.
