Not intentionally.
why the lucky stiff was a Ruby advocate who wrote a number of good
things, most notably "Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby". A few years back,
he posted a series of rather odd posts, and then disappeared. His
domain was evidently captured by a scammer, and is being used to promote
dodgy stuff.
See below for more information:

So Debian is as much a victim of the scammer as the folks following
those links.
That link on Debian Junior for shoes should probably be removed now.
