It is, as the URL indicates, from doxdesk.com and is meant as a joke. The author says, "I thought this image would be An Hilarious Joke-humour for SO users..."

You can find the article with the image in place on the front of the site.

(though, like some of The Onion's eerily prescient humor, this hits a bit closer to reality than might be believed)

Look at the related questions, the names of the users and other page elements. Someone's just modified the DOM content.

I'm pretty sure it's faked. Look at the related questions and the job ad.

Awesome! Who says geeks don't have a sense of humor!

Oh! And while we are at it, jquery also makes my breakfast every morning.
