Coolio, where did you find it?
That URL made me laugh thanks for the link.
mine just say this without colors:
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
Did you create the mysite project? I didn't check to see what the text was without a project but is that maybe the default server is running text before you have Django installed?
It is up and running
