Perhaps I should explain why this is.  stub! adds a stubbed method to
an object.  In Ruby, classes are objects as well, so what you've done
is to stub a method on the ApplicationController class object itself -
effectively creating a class method.  When you override the method
yourself, you're overriding an instance method.  So in order to stub
out the method for a request, you want to stub it on the _instance_ of
the controller being used in the test.  That controller instance is
made available to you through a method named "controller".
