The advent of YouTube, Hulu, Netflix's watch instantly feature, torrents, and offsite/online backup has made good bandwidth crucial to an enjoyable experience.

So was I. Luckily there is a handy configuration option that tells TinyMCE to leave your code alone:
verify_html : false
The resulting code should look something like this:

theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
verify_html: false
});
Happy coding!
