New York dad-to-be killed by exploding gender reveal device
A dad-to-be in upstate New York was killed when a device he was building for a gender reveal party exploded, state police said Monday. Christopher Pekny, 28, was working on the device for his child’s gender reveal party in the Catskills town of Liberty when it blew up just before noon on Sunday, cops said. https://nypost.com/2021/02/22/catskills-dad-to-be-killed-by-exploding-gender-reveal-device/ |

Well, did it say boy or girl? Guy went through all that trouble and we can't even get the reveal results?
|
|
|
Some pink/blue balloons tied to the mailbox would've been a better move.
|
|
I'm confused. Are these parties revealing a choice or an assignment?

It was easier when my boys were born in the 70s and 80s.
I just bought cigars with a blue band to pass out and everyone figured it out. If you had a girl, you bought cigars with pink bands. |

What's wrong with the blue/pink banded cigars? And whose to say that the child will accept the gender of birth? I mean really, these SJW's need to put an end to this gender reveal shit, how is it fair that an unborn child is shackled with a gender assignment before its even born? They should wait until 'it' is 18 yo THEN have a gender reveal party.

We shot tannerite with colored chalk (our friends knew the results before us and pre-mixed for us). Nobody was killed. It was A BOY!

The worst part is that now he'll never know if he's gonna be a dad or a mom.

This whole gender reveal thing is dumb.
But I eat at that diner every April 1 trout opener that I’m up that way. |
|
That just strikes me as sad.
Regardless of what anyone thinks of gender-reveal parties etc... that kid is going to grow up without a dad. A dad that actually wanted to be there. |

If the explosion ripped his dick off, does calling him the father misgender him?
|
|
LoL we did a gender reveal for both kids
First one was a cake with the cake inside colour being the gender Second was a balloon filled with gender coloured powder No one got hurt |

View Quote Worse. Its going to grow up knowing its father died doing something as fucking dumb as a gender reveal party explosion. |

Could be suicide.
probably figured out that the woman trapped him by getting pregnant and realized he would rather be dead than deal with her shit and get destroyed in the divorce. |
|
I wish I had something edgy to write, but I think it has all been covered.
Oh, oh, wait- he died doing what he loved. |

Gender reveal parties are the dumbest damn millennial thing in the world.
So freaking stupid |
|
Pathetic!
Stupidity hurts the stupid and the people in their lives. |

View Quote Indeed. Very sad and that child will probably carry much undeserved guilt. The mother as well. You can argue that stupid people, with bad intent or when up to no good, deserve to suffer the consequences when their plans go awry. The deceased may have been stupid, he may have careless, but his intentions were good. He got carried away (no pun intended) trying to have fun with his family and friends. To celebrate the impending birth of his child. He intended no harm and it’s a damn shame that he paid the ultimate price for what may have been a rare moment of recklessness. |

FPNI
These stupid ass gender reveal things are just people trying to one up each other for social media credit. Poor kid will grow up without a dad because "the likes" were so important. |
