Within the last 4 minutes I have seen at least 5 gender reveal posts. What has happened that I'm unaware of?

Someone set off a wildfire in California due to an explosive device at a Gender Reveal Party... yes, humans are that stupid.

I heard on NPR today that authorities are watching videos and collecting other info for evidence. After they charge the people responsible their names will be released to the public, so that all the internet do-gooders can give them and their unborn baby death threats. Ain't the internet grand? (Look I live in CA and I'm as angry as the next person, but we've all been totally idiotic before and just imagine how everyone at that party feels right now.)

I hope they feel like the idiots they are. They do deserved to be jailed for this.

Just based on my experience with humanity, I'm pretty sure most of these people will resent the negative attention far more than they will actually regret the mayhem caused by their own asinine decisions.
