Liberty, NY is in the Catskills mountain region. This is what you get for wanting 15 seconds of fame of social media for some stupid gender reveal stunt.

Sad. Some would say tragic. I would say... Blue or Pink?? Blue or Pink?? To not ask would mean he died for nothing, err well, anyway.

Exploding chastity belts are always risky to make and wear.

That is exactly what is happening. Way too many people want their little piece of fame. It often ends in tragedy.

WTF does a gender reveal party have to do with blowing people and things up? No one explains in the article, as if everyone knows what this form of ‘crazy’ is all about. Perhaps it’s too obscene to mention.

Sad and also stupid. Gender reveal events shouldn’t even be a thing. Nobody cares except the parents.
