Is it supposed to be funny? I.e., what am I missing?

I suppose some might find the misspell amusing, in context.

We'll yes, it is amusing, and typical of the language proficiency often associated with that kind of ethnocentric paranoia.

However, there is of course no way of telling whether or not the picture is actually real. It's a nice white space to photoshop anything onto easily.

It doesn't look much like a photoshopped image; it would have to be done by hand and I can't see it looking that good. On the other hand, I love the name of the blog, speaking of ambiguity. Is that with instrumental or possessive?
