Redirects to spammy sites from Sched.org shortlinks

I've been noticing that in Chrome 41.0.2272.101 (64-bit) with HTTPSEverywhere enabled, shortlinks from Sched.org have been redirecting to spammy sites. For example,

http://sched.co/2FQm

redirects to

http://wellnesshealthyliving.ownanewbusiness.com/1085/laci-le-beau-super-dieters-tea-natural-60-bags/

I've run a malware detection program on my machine and it's coming up empty. Is there any way that the HTTPSEverywhere Chrome extension could either be a) causing that or b) the problem is actually that the Sched.org shortlink resolver has been hacked and HTTPSEverywhere is actually preventing these spammy sites from siphoning data from my machine?

I'm stumped.

Thanks!
