See there , its says only "1KidsCharity" (12 characters ) take 2.5M years in a computer to generate. But This is 1SatoshiNakamotoComingin27onKTHHY (33 Characters)

You can make - in a difficult way - vanity address where you get private key and you can spend funds.
Or you can make easily a BURN vanity address where you get no private keys and any money sent there is lost.
e.g. I've just made: 1foysaLsiamMustLearnMorexxy2TtmH6 with a tool found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1915695.0

So making a burn vanity address takes less computational power than a vanity address with the private keys? As one thing that I was wondering from the OP is when the address was generated and how much computational power it actually took to create it. I had thought (as someone else mentioned) that it's almost impossible to do something like the address in the OP, however if burn addresses aren't as intensive to create, I suppose that explains it.
