Um. I think someone has a well-developed sense of irony.

Obviously I am missing something. Why is this funny?

I don't see that it's particularly ironic, especially given that Chinese citizens have been dropping off bouquets of flowers at Google's offices in Shanghai...

I think there's a lot of "love the country, hate the government" going on in that interaction right now.

I guess. It just seemed funny to me to have "I think we may take our toys and go home" on one side and "yay China!" on the other.
