Looks like the embedded tweet has the twitter handle's 'name', which is penis.

Thanks, I had not figured that out! Why is the href set to "</p" then?

A protest against patriarchy, it's the symbol of dismemberment.

My old Chrome version actually renders the penis (the text, I mean) for a split second and then it disappears.

Thank god it's only the text

bringing new meaning to 'NSFW tweet'

This is probably the most bizarre hyperlink I've run across. I share your confusion, and couldn't be laughing any harder right now.

It appears to have been edited out, but that looks like a remnant of someone probing for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities by putting mismatched quotes and tags into places they don't belong.

You are right, the <blockquote> seems to have been replaced by a <img> tag.

Also, I can indeed imagine how this would be caused by improper parsing of double quotes and angled brackets.
