It’s the middle of the week which must mean it’s time for another Wednesday Link-Off. Let’s kick off with Yvonne Strahovski. She’s not in Maxim because of Chuck though. A quality TV program like that is above their heads. That’s why those Maxim morons will spend Mondays at 10:00 watching something plotless with generic eye candy like The Playboy Club instead of a show with substance and a quality lead actress like Stana Katic in Castle. Alright, rant over. On with the links.

EA Sports’ NHL 12 is out this week. There’s all sorts of buzz about this year’s game because of the addition of the Winter Classic and the legends. But the story recently gaining traction is one girl’s letter which caused EA to add women as created players. (Globe and Mail)

Of course, like the last few NHL games, EA is really going for realism. For example, they have specific tweaks to the Be A GM mode for Canadian teams. (The Leafs Nation)

Deadspin founder Will Leitch (who probably hates being introduced as that) wrote a great piece on homosexuality and sports. (New York Magazine)

After the jump, Serena goes nuts again, SpongeBob rots your brain and George Lucas can’t stop screwing with the classics.

Serena Williams lost it on another official at the US Open. I’m sure you’ve seen the video of her going nuts on a chair umpire in the final but let’s watch it again. (Gawker)

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! Absorbant and yellow and porous is he! SpongeBob SquarePants! If brain-rotting nonsense be something you wish! SpongeBob SquarePants! Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish! Anyway, scientist say that SpongeBob is making kids stupid. What do you expect for a stoner show. (Gizmodo)

Speaking of SpongeBob, he’s in a new baseball video game which pits Nickelodeon cartoon stars against MLB players. (The Big Lead)

George Lucas’ edits to Star Wars for the Blu-Ray are just getting ridiculous. Now Alderaan is shooting first. (Unreality)

In other sacrilege news, Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t know who William Shatner is. Revoke his US citizenship! (Film Drunk)

Ever feel like tearing up the city streets in a Mini? Well, the folks at Mini are helping you do that using a Facebook game and Google Maps. (Jalopnik)

BlackBerry is gearing up for a quick launch of a phone with a QNX-based operating system. I don’t know what that means either. But I do know that the new QNX phone won’t have email or a calendar. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of buying an overpriced smartphone? (Mobile Magazine)

Today’s first photo gallery is a bit of a mashup. It’s texts from last night posts mashed up with scenes from Community. God bless Tumblr. (Uproxx)

Today’s second photo gallery is an awesome collection of Star Wars graffiti. (Super Booyah – Site Slightly NSFW)

What if George Lucas was allowed to edit other movies for Blu-Ray? Darth Vader’s “NOOOOOOOOO!” would show up a lot more.

The legendary Freddie Wong has a new video that applies the laws of video gaming to your morning commute.
