Well then they should really label these things. Perhaps a small disclaimer on the top left of the bottom picture could help people understand the subtle subtext of the image. Maybe they could just write "Sarcasm" directly on the image.

The US education department during the Reagan administration, classified ketchup as a vegetable for the lunches of low income students.

This is a case of sarcasm not being sarcastic enough to exceed reality.
