A lot of people are morons. Just low brain power. This is why most bad things that happen in the world happen. A lack of computing power. With temperatures in the area well over 100 degrees for weeks on end and no rain, sure lets set of some pyrotechnics. Sounds like a good idea to me. Oh, lets have a gender reveal party. Sure why not. What could be more inane than that.

Well, that's a twofer.
Dumb question perhaps, as problems with my internet prevent me from opening links; is this a party where expectant parents tell what their baby will be; or a new age reveal of what somebody "Identifies as"?

Well unfortunately that kid will not be going to college. The last idiot who pulled that stunt out here was fines over $200,000. There goes the college fund and maybe the house!

What is a gender reveal party?
Celebrated at an earlier stage in pregnancy than a baby shower, a gender reveal party announces whether expectant parents will be giving birth to a boy or a girl.
Often this will be a surprise for the couple themselves. At their 20 week scan - the point at which it is usually possible to tell the sex of the baby - some couples will ask the sonographer to write down "boy" or "girl" on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. They give this to a trusted friend or relative who organises their gender reveal party.
Guests often demonstrate their gender predictions by wearing pink or blue, then play games before the big reveal.
Although particularly popular in the US, the parties are a growing trend in the UK. Online retailer Party Delights reports an 87% increase in gender reveal-related products over the past three years and attributes the craze to social media and viral videos.
Managing director Claire Grasby says customers are "looking for ever more creative ways to celebrate a pregnancy".
Traditional reveals include a cake with blue or pink sweets hidden inside, a pink or blue confetti-filled piñata or a guest taking off a hat to reveal a pink or blue wig. But more dramatic and potentially dangerous announcements, including fireworks, smoke grenades and burnouts - are becoming more and more common.

I shouldn't be laughing so hard at someone on fire, but the music was perfect and I tried to imagine what the cops were thinking watching the guy.
