This is most definitely spam/phishing/browser exploits.  Aside from
the content being utterly ridiculous and unrelated to this list,
curling the bitly link gives back a redirect to (mangled to avoid
accidental clicking)

hxxp://entrancejudgeroll. xyz/KSBQEDYXIP29112/numls/

That domain was registered in July 21 this year; that's older than I'd
expect for spam/phishing, but still suspiciously recent.  Also, the
bare domain with no path gives back a 403, while adding www gives back
a 503.  Both are very unusual on legitimate sites.

Attempting to curl that link gives back a 405 "Method not allowed",
suggesting they're blocking curl.  Setting the user agent to a various
useragents found on the Internet (including Firefox and Chrome on
Windows and OSX, Safari, IE6 and IE11), gave back simply "<pre>".  I
couldn't get anything else via curl.

I suspect that either they're targeting specific vulnerable browsers
that I didn't test, or they're using other headers to determine that
I'm not a real browser and give back something benign.  But there's no
way I'm letting a real browser touch that site, and don't have a handy
throwaway VM to test on.

In short: do not click that link.
