"Gender Reveal" parties have gotten out of hand, even cause deaths. Setting off 80 pounds of explosives caused concern in New Hampshire.

They have stories about it and the effects it caused, but no video of the actual explosion. It musta been a doozy.

Sometimes there are negative consequences for idiotic acts.

I've heard that the explosion was seen from the space station. The astronauts all jumped for joy and shouted, "it's a girl!!!"

They got it wrong. I watched a video of it and it's a boy.

What an idiot. If My house suffered damage like that..I would sue, even if the Police didn't press charges! Any way who thinks up these 'Baby Shower' and 'Gender reveal' celebrations..were they promoted by private enterprise to squeeze more money out of us gullible citizens?

I'm sure that private enterprise has gotten into the act by now.

Why bother. The way things are these days, if the child wants to change genders at age three or four, everyone is supposed to jump on board in support, and there are plenty of medical practitioners willing to provide the necessary services, and plenty of supporters of those kinds of choices in the public sector as well.
