Lots of Javascript reliance.... Brazilian govt is the recent hot dog to join the folly

brasil.gov.br
(copy paste to view the site's source)

their entire site strangely requires the javascript addition.

I don't get these people - now, I'm not going to do anything untoward, but these are high profile websites, calling a third party (largely unknown) javascript, where the end-user's browser can be hijacked at any moment. And they never even send an email to try and even get to know who is behind the third party app, or anything.

Strange the values people put on things!

Needless to say, the brazilian govt official website does some nice traffic

And no, I don't have any scruples divulging these users of my service cos:
1. They are bypassing the 100k/day limit through use of the javascript API (client IP based, rather than server)
2. They haven't even bothered to ask if their usage with such huge bandwidth is OK
3. They haven't even registered their site so impossible for me to contact them.

Pffft.
