  That brings to mind Bonzi Buddy proving people literally would take a dancing monkey over security. People generally may not understand enough to know JavaScript as a culprit but they do notice bloat and complain about the slowness. I find difficult to think of metaphors which encapsulate a sense of proportion to the issue but ignoring a root cause as not an issue is a very good way to wind up with one.
