Chinese SWAT officer unable to get time off 24 hr shift to take wedding photos. Studio comes to his station instead. [via]
Everybody needs to step they game up I swear this shit goes so hard.
I’d say whoever denied his time off request did him a favor. These are the sickest wedding photos I’ve ever seen.
Carol of the Bells played by basketballs
How lit is this lol
Please appreciate that those basketballs had to be inflated to different pressures to produce notes. Not only did they have to tune the balls, they had to figure out not when the balls should hit but when they should be dropped to hit at the appropriate time.

Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert.
She shoots her abuser with a shotgun 💕“Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood is about a woman letting her abusive, alcoholic dad die in a tornado.
Carrie Underwood is the queen of this genre: Some other great ones:
- Church Bells – Carrie Underwood: A woman poisons her abusive husband and gets away with it after being beaten.
- Two Black Cadillacs
– Carrie Underwood: A woman meets the other woman her husband was cheating on and they team up to murder him, then attend the funeral with no remorse.- The Thunder Rolls (Extended version) – Garth Brooks: Hard to find the extended cut, but in the full version the woman grabs a pistol and goes off to shoot her cheating husband.
- The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia – Reba McEntire: A man leaves town for a bit only to discover his best friend cheated on him with his wife. The friend is then shot by the man’s little sister and he is tried and sent to jail for it.
And no murder in these ones, but still contain women being amazing:
- Girl in a Country Song – Maddie and Tae: A song that name-drops or references every single country song that uses derogatory language about women, then chews them out for it. The “your country is music is problematic“ song basically.
- Shut Up and Fish –
Maddie and Tae: A girl goes on a fishing song with a guy who will not stop talking and trying to hit on her, so she dumps him in the lake.- Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood: A woman totally trashes her boyfriend’s car after he cheats on her to teach him a lesson.
- Dirty Laundry –
Carrie Underwood: A woman figures out her husband is cheating by the stains on his clothes, then proceeds to tell all the neighbors and hang the shirt out front in case he dares to show back up again.“Independence Day” by Martina McBride: the mom burns down the house to escape her abusive husband.
And Miranda Lambert has a lot of “fuck you/this” sounding songs about revenge and cheating:
– “Kerosene”: it’s heavily implied by the lyrics and video that she’s burning down her ex’s house for cheating.
– “Mama’s Broken Heart”: is more about her mom trying to shame her for falling apart after a break-up, and the video is a wild bird-flipping romp around the house making herself up to look “crazy” and “hysterical” to spite her.Adding to this: “Something bad” A duet by Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood where two girls run off to have a night on the town- presumably after the one ran away from her own wedding and took her entire life’s savings with her.
Back to the original murder theme, I highly recommend “Looking Back Now” (originally titled “Whiskey and a Gun”) by Maggie Rose. Woman shoots her cheating boyfriend/husband, goes to jail, ends up shooting the prison guard who rapes her. (Okay, so she dies by lethal injection at the end, but still, awesome song.)
Maggie McCall by Sandi Thom… O.o
Adele covered “If It Hadn’t Been For Love” which was about killing a girlfriend and switched the pronouns to be about killing a male ex. *eg*
I’m usually against pronoun switching in covers, but this is my exception, I think.
“Country Song” by Seanan McGuire fits in here too–if you add in the part where it’s a retelling of the movie Slither.
Slightly off to one side of the main theme, but: Dar Williams’s “Flinty Kind of Woman” is about the women of a small New England town who band together to hunt down (and, it is implied, kill) a child molester.

you know how it’s always like “I was just a normal high school kid until one day *FANTASTIC/CRAZY/AWFUL/MAGICAL* thing happened to me!
what if they just had like five entire episodes of vanilla slice of life shit before the director yells SWERVE and throws the “you’re a wizard, harry” moment into the mix or decides the apocalypse starts NOW
so that you’re just as shocked as the main character
