Yes, even facebook (along with most of the rest of the tech industry) thinks techcrunch is such a joke that they don't mind pulling pranks on them. Notice that there are bigger/better tech blogs/publications out there but facebook choose only to prank them - that's how low they think of techcrunch. And they should.

If they thought TC was a joke, they'd ignore them, not spend time and effort, planning and executing a prank.

  Not unless they think that TC is a bad joke that does harm to FaceBook in some way (by, for example, posting unverified stories about FaceBook before taking the time to fact-check with FB).
