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.

The blast killed Pekny and injured his brother, 27-year-old Michael Pekny, who was treated for his injuries at the Garnet Medical Center in Middletown, according to police.

I read the article and still don’t know if the kid is going to be a boy or a girl. Given the circumstances I think we’re entitled to know.

Or just bake an angel food cake with either blue or pink food coloring, frost over it. When they cut the first piece people would be able to figure it out.

Dafuq is a Gender Reveal party?

I think they are stupid, too. But my son and DIL had one so I went. I think everyone at the party already knew it was a girl.

Why can’t gender just be found out at birth anymore? Whata shame.

I’m old enough to remember when people had to work to keep a roof over their head and food on the table, and didn’t have time for this kind of Mitt.

This insanity started with inviting, and then requiring, men to attend baby showers.

The only thing gayer than men at a baby shower is men in a bathhouse shower.

After the “fart gender reveal,” everyone had to up their game.

For women, it's like the space race. They see their friends having a gender reveal party, and they want to have one that tops their friends gender reveal. Wedding receptions are like that, too - couples now have their little dance routines, the head table now is handled like the old Hollywood roasts, etc. Really embarrassing stuff.

Just let the fathers go back to passing around cigars to celebrate the baby.

Hey young people.

Find something new already. Explosions are centuries old.

Holographs, maybe holographs.
