Bride and groom opt for high-end videographer option: GoPro strapped to their dog.
Instead of hiring a company to film their wedding, Addie and Marhsall Burnette tied a GoPro to their Siberian Husky Ryder and let her artistic vision run wild. Ryder captured the preparations, ceremony (which took place on the top of the Roan Mountain in Tennessee), and reception, all from a First-Canine Perspective. The wedding took place a year ago, but Marshall claims that Ryder "took awhile to edit the footage," so it was just posted earlier this month.
It took her a while to edit out all of the scenes where she's pooping, as well as that 45-minute segment where she's repeatedly humping a tree.

13 of the most heartbreaking moments in TV history, according to sobbing Internet users.
Just coming out and asking the Internet something is a great way to mine humanity's brain, like what foreigners think of America, the worst things that have happened to people during sex, the scariest 2-sentence stories people can write, and what people do in private—but now we shall take a tear-filled trip down memory lane, as people have shared the most heartbreaking memories they have from TV. It is the Internet, so the responses were mostly from the Eighties onwards. Many were finale episodes, but interestingly, most were comedies. Warning: many feels ahead. There were many moments on this list, but one was the breakaway winner. As it happens, it was a Thanksgiving:
1. Sesame Street, Thanksgiving, 1983. Big Bird realizes that Mr. Hooper is never coming back.
2. The real, sad reason Will was staying with his auntie and his uncle in Bel-Air. (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Papa's Got A Brand New Excuse," 1994)
3. Oh god, it wasn't a chicken. It was PTSD. (M*A*S*H, "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen," 1983)
4. Buffy The Vampire Slayer loses her mom to un-slayable cancer. ("The Body," 2001)
5. Futurama, but at least it's not Fry's dog. ("The Luck of the Fryish," 2001.)
6. Also, Fry's dog. Seriously, you've been warned. ("Jurassic Bark," 2002.)
7. When the gruff Dr. Cox loses his grip after losing his close friend, portrayed by Brendan Fraser. (Scrubs, "My Finale" 2009.)
8. It goes without saying that liberating a concentration camp is more depressing than Big Bird, but you probably weren't a kid when you watched it. (Band of Brothers, "Why We Fight," 2001.)
Due to the graphic nature of this clip, if you wish to watch it, the full episode is here at IMDb.
9. "The Inner Light," most crushing episode of Star Trek: TNG not involving Wesley (note: two videos here).
10. Vincent Van Gogh, who committed suicide at 37, destitute and ignored by critics and peers, finally gets the praise he deserved. (Dr. Who, "Vincent and the Doctor," 2010.)
11. When the Sinclair family and everyone on Earth dies due to the stupidity of humandinokind. (Dinosaurs, "Changing Nature," 1994.)
[Editor's Note: None of the commentators gave a good summary, so, TL;DR — Earl Sinclair was put in charge of clearing the wax fruit forests by the WeSaySo corporation, and in the process, killed off all but one of a very important beetle species. All plant life died. Dinokind then put nukes in volcanoes on the theory that nukes make clouds and clouds make rain.]
12. This kind of heartbreak is even harder to get out than chocolate. (The Simpsons, "I Love Lisa," 1993.)*
13. Let's end this on a sad-to-happy note, huh? (The Office, "Casino Night," 2006.)
Honorable Mention:
Also, Rick Sanchez turning himself into galactic prison to save his family.
Also, whatever you're trying to avoid at home by reading this article. BOOM.
There's gotta be billions more—what are yours?

#TBThanksgiving: That time Barney the Dinosaur was brutally ripped open on the streets of NYC.
The year was 1997. The stock market was booming. Khakis were everywhere. SUVs were being handed out with free toasters when you opened an AOL account. The big political scandal involved enthusiastically consented-to oral sex. Saying "it's the Nineties!" before or after doing something completely innocuous was something people actually did with big dumb smiles on their faces. Jobs were available. It was chaos. The low point finally came on Thanksgiving Day of '97, as a nation weary of non-stop economic expansion and falling crime saw one of their primary tormentors, Barney the Dinosaur, lose his usual veneer of invincibility:
After that, political scientists believe, people finally had the courage to ask why they were buying Beanie Babies, or for that matter, stocks in terrible websites. Then 9/11 happened and they started paying Lockheed $2.1 billion each for indestructible Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloons. Sorry, just wanted to see if you were still listening.

Feel good about America on Thanksgiving by ogling her mountains majesty on Instagram.
Thanksgiving is notoriously difficult to get through. Everyone is drunk on turkey, and politics are in the air. This year has been a real doozy, so if you're prone to reaching for second helpings of yelling at grandma, here's an Instagram account that can help. The U.S. Department of the Interior is a government branch that will make liberals and conservatives alike sigh and say, "I love America." It's full of incredible photos of all the state parks, curated by a very discerning eye. Follow and enjoy little snippets of this great country popping up in between your friends' brunch pics.
They got cute animals:
They got sunsets up the wazoo:
They got fun facts and digestible videos:
And they have pictures you won't see anywhere else:
Thanks, Obama.

This is Officially how to carve a turkey. Argument settled.
This instructional video comes from the Culinary Institute of America, which in normal-person speak translates to the Food Experts of Thanksgivingland. So, if you've got to carve a bird today (or just want to tell your in-laws they're doing it wrong), here is The Correct Answer.

This guy sings Adele's 'Hello' in the style of 25 different artists and nails every one.
Adele's "Hello" is a modern masterpiece that resonates with millions. The song can unite a family at Thanksgiving, and it can also unite 25 different artist impressions into one video. Anthony Vincent, master producer and impressionist, took on "Hello" as everyone from Guns N' Roses to The Backstreet Boys, Pink Floyd to The Police, and Deadmau5 to Etta James. The result? A song you can use to drown out a fight that fans of all genres can enjoy.

Give thanks for America's brand-new rocket that lands vertically, just like sci-fi promised.
Blue Origin, the space technology company owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has just sent a rocket to space (100.5 km straight up) and landed it back on its own two feet like it's being piloted by Buck goshdarn Rogers. Eat that, SpaceX and your ocean landings. *Cue rockin' guitar solo* Happy Thanksgiving, our fellow Americans. Let's give thanks for being the absolute coolest people on the planet.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the United States of America. We're not just #1, we came up with the constant obsession with being #1. When we stopped being #1 in terms of rocket technology, what happened? Did we accept a future full of international cooperation? Hell no. Our billionaires (of which we have the most, because we're #1) started throwing money at the problem, because that's what we do, god dammit. You've probably heard of SpaceX, the rocket company created by PayPal and Tesla Motors founder Elon Musk, their successful space missions, and their attempts to get rockets from space to land vertically at sea. Well, now we have two companies (besides the psuedo-military Boeing/Lockheed joint venture known as United Launch Alliance that buys Russian engines and sells them to the government) that make the Space Shuttle look like the stepping stone it was always meant to be. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

This soda can does a better Chewbacca impression than you do.
There are only 3 weeks until the new Star Wars movie. That's even cooler than America's real new sci-fi rocket. That's even cooler than puppies re-enacting the original trilogy. Give thanks.

A sci-fi film marathon for anyone who needs to escape the holidays.
The holidays are a great time for togetherness, but they can also be lonely and depressing. You deserve some quality entertainment after a full day of hearing about other families being together or dealing with the stress of actually being with yours. Here are a bunch of free short and full-length sci-fi films that Someecards editors enjoyed greatly this year. What's your favorite movie for weird nights like these? Head over to the Facebook post for this article and leave a recommendation for other night owls who need cheap entertainment and/or a little joy tonight.
Short Films:
1. They're Made Out Of Meat - Based on a short story by science fiction writer Terry Bisson in the now-defunct sci-fi magazine OMNI, aliens discover humans and simply can't handle it.
2. The Leviathan - Technically a teaser for a non-existent film, this was basically Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson's (awesome) pitch to the Irish Film Board to give him money in 2015.
3. One-Minute Time Machine - There's gotta be a safer way to get a date.
4. TROOPS - This 1997 fan film mashup of COPS and Star Wars literally established the modern concept of the fan film and was one of the first to go viral—both in the form of bootlegged VHS and DVD copies, and online.
5. JohnnyExpress - Being a space delivery man who gets to hibernate most of the time seems like a great gig, but space is a big place full of tiny, tiny problems that get huge fast.
Feature-Length Films
1. Kung Fury - This fan-financed independent movie is the greatest 80s action film of all time of 2015.
2. Star Wars: Uncut (The Directors Cut) - Transforming the fan-film world in 2009, people from all over the Earth reenacted very short segments of the original Star Wars: A New Hope and filmmaker Casey Pugh stitched them into this amazing, heartwarming, and still-thrilling feature.
3. The Empire Strikes Back: Uncut - This amazing creation is a full-length shot-for-shot reenactment of Empire by fans all around the world.
