The link is copied from one of OriginalGriff's answers. One of the rare jokes on this page, which also a "not an initiate" understands 
N.B. It is worth to have a look to other jokes on that page *g*

Is it a coincidence that the site is named: http://bringvictory.com/[^]

Just noticed that it's blocked by IE11. Yes it's blocked by the browser, I double-checked.
Now, is that a bug or a feature?

I guess Microsoft actually has programmers working for them
Google on the other had does not

Curious - I was going to point out it can always be worse because you can be in whatever situation you are in and ginger*. Then Rick "Ginger" Astley.
* Unless of course you are already ginger, in which case you've already hit bottom already.

I turned on the radio to find that 1D are playing at the Stadium of ShiLight.
Apparently they're winning 2-0!

... who told all these lazy IT students that they don't need to do any work. Just wait till their assignment is due and post it in Q&A. It seems to be getting worse rather than better. You would think that all the ones who get told off would pass it on to their friends.

IT students have friends? That don't require a credit card number? Who knew?

I taught Computer Science for 2 years. I used to troll CP, SO, and other sites looking for my homework assignments.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

We do not set your homework: it is yours for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you are going to tell them, and try to understand it. It is also there so that you can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action before the students notice you know less than them.
Try it yourself, or hear the Magic Words: "Now much were my tuition fees, again, exactly?"

You misunderstand what I meant.
I trolled CP, SO, etc, looking for students posting my homework assignments looking for someone to do them

What was the outcome for those found out?

They got an F, what else. Posting my assignments here is cheating. Plain and simple.

I bet you heard this many a time at school;
"Griff, you should really be paying more attention instead of staring out the window all day!"
|

Nope. They probably said it a lot, but I wasn't paying attention.
Except in RI. Didn't have a choice there...the RI Master would hurl his bible at you - not to hit, but to land on your desk from the other side of the room. Since this was one of the "family size" religion packs (about a foot and a half square and several inches thick) it arrived with a noise like the clap of doom.

Me too - I used to keep an eye on both sites. Though I used to encourage them to seek help online too as I consider it an important skill. Depressingly not one student had the nouse to ask a question here or on SO AFAICT.
