I’m not even sure why this is funny. Maybe it’s the context.
Was it put together by somebody in the United Kingdom, who is irritated by the he way Sarkozy and Merkel are turning a bad fiscal crisis into a worse fiscal crisis and trying to blame England? That’s possible, and we know the Brits have a good sense of humor.
Or was it put together by a German, who is feeling sanctimonious about his country’s relatively strong position (at least compared to other European welfare states) and is tired of having to deal with the French.
Or is it funny simply because it’s amusing to mock the French?

It most definitely is the context/background. You need to know who the woman is (German Chancellor Angela Merkel) and what she has been doing lately. You need to know who the baby boy is (French Pres. Nicolas Sarkozy) and what he has been doing lately. Given that, the picture seems to me fitting, and funnier than much what gets put up.

So for us to be having a comparable US version of this poigniant photshop, who would be bottlefeeding the continually wailing and pooping Presbo?
Funny!
