On the other side of the coin, I see it as a cynical marketing move specifically designed to appeal to nostalgia create the very impression you had, that they "maintain a sense of fun and a corporate attitude that allows fun hacks to make it to the world." Google is often successful at appealing to geek humor and ideals in order to gain fans, even as they do things that violate those ideals.

It was implemented by a single engineer who thought it would be a humorous thing to do without considering marketing at all. Or did you mean that them allowing this is the cynical marketing move? It'd make more sense, but I don't think I'd agree with it.
