I've seen news stories for (at least) the last 20 years about kids in the US having poor results on international tests. Now you're telling me they've grown up to be adults? Really? And they still have poor results on international tests?
1) Massively wastes screen real estate. 2) Doesn't improve readability in the least 3) Usability is out the window. 4) I'm not a web designer! This isn't even my desk!
The onslaught of marketing from the (currently) big sites in the US has actually helped to kill off quite a few sites in other countries. Many of those sites offered the same thing as the big US sites, and predated them by a few years, but were mostly limited to the local spoken language. As for the "US probably have the world's largest group of creative people", I'd like some of what you're smoking.
Sure it's well vetted. But consider that you often don't know by whom. Lots of eyes on code does open up the potential for having a few Byzantine generals.
You know, they probably could increase the profit margins on that by offering just 1 candle and 1 noodle cup. After all, nobody said it was a dinner for two, right?

Why not just pull the warning labels off everything they use and let the problem sort itself out?
I think this has to do with either patents or copyright. Something that the US has a "very serious stance" on...
"I want the good guys to win."
And you think the NSA and the US government are the good guys?
Agh! The stupid! It burns!
Thank god they're actually trying to support a sensible scripting language as well (goes without saying that I don't like lisp derivates).
"sell for little money relative to their high cost of manufacture"?
You don't work in the automotive industry, do you?

Duh!
Who is in such a dire need of a quick brush that they need this? Is two minutes too much to spare these days?

Yes. Imagine if everybody had that.

I cancelled my account years ago due to their fishy tactics.
Can you give the Darwin award to a church?
Wasn't the NSA surveillance program supposed to put a stop to things like this?
"Surely, sooner or later, even the half of the population"
This hasn't happened yet, though the governent/corporate abuse has been going on for quite a while, so don't hold your breath.
The same can be said for the Facebook Android app.
Why should I bother my representative (Christian Engström) with this?
I don't think he's bothered by it. But the chance is very small that he is not aware of the problem already.
... the next time someone wants to frame someone else for murder ;P
You're right! ;P
Among other advantages, you can get viruses a helluva lot quicker and easier opening windows docs on windows

Sometimes a "corrective action" is capital punishment. It's a bit hard to rectify that in retrospect.
Not taking showers could also be harmful to your health.
How is this easier than copying?
You might want to mention that to your government (I assume you're from the US from your sig).
