Wednesday Link-Off: Hoaxed

danielle-fishel-maxim13-02It’s time to take a break from F1 preview week to take a look at everything else that’s been happening in the world so far this week with our set of Wednesday links. Let’s start this off with Topanga- I mean, Danielle Fishel.

And you thought that Manti Te’o was catfished bad. A theoretical particle physicist and UNC professor was duped into believing that he was talking to model Denise Milani. (New York Times)

George W. Bush’s lasting legacy in the GOP might not be the economic crisis but starting the Iraq War which might have directly led to the Republican Party getting annihilated in the 2008 election. (Washington Post)

What happens when BC Premier Christy Clark shows some personality? She gets criticized. Damn uptight media. (Political Points)

I’m sure you’ve seen the picture that’s been referred to as Pig Shit Balls but where did it originate from? (BuzzFeed)

Any time there’s a decent NewsRadio article, I’m likely to link at it. Here’s a look back at why it’s one of the most underrated sitcoms of all-time. (Warming Glow)

Could your email signature say something about your personality? (The Week)

It’s one thing for the sports media to be hoaxed by a sports star with a non-existent girlfriend. It’s quite another thing if the sports media is hoaxed by a supposed sports star that they should have done a little research into when writing an article. (Awful Announcing)

The CIS men’s hockey championship is this week and will even be on TV. The problem is that the current format doesn’t really work for TV. (Buzzing the Net)

Before Dennis Rodman was sent in to cool things down in North Korea, America sent over ambassador “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. (With Leather)

After it started being reported that Lucasarts could be cancelling Star Wars: 1313. Now, it looks like the previously unannounced Star Wars: First Assault, a supposed prequel to Battlefront III, might be next on the chopping block. Disney really is terrible for this franchise. (Kotaku)

There are actually shows that have zero viewership. Buzzfeed found all 35 viewerless shows. (BuzzFeed)

Coming soon to NBA Jam: Unlockable Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong-un. I wonder how they’d fare against the unlockable Obama and Biden.

Taylor Swift’s music has never sounded better. It’s a Trouble with Tribbles themed cover of I Knew You Were Trouble called I Knew You Were Tribbles.
