The link was intended to be a joke. One of our moderators visited the site to assess it, and came to the conclusion that it was just a nuisance and wasn't viral.

It was posted as an intended joke, which apparently backfired for some of the users.

Just try to make sure that any joke links don't cause people too much distress in thinking its a virus, please.
