What the hell is going on with gender reveal parties lately? They used to be nothing more than fun gatherings celebrating the mum-to-be and the unborn bub. Now they’re the cause of plane crashes, slapslick-esque bodiy injuries, and in the most WTF example to come out so far, inappropriate use of farts and baby powder.
In a horrific new low for gender reveals, a woman known as Paige Gunn on Twitter decided to pull the curtain back on her baby’s gender by shoving some blue baby powder up her butt and farting it out.
No, you didn’t read that incorrectly but I’ll repeat it once again for clarity: a woman put some blue baby powder up her butt, she then pushes out a fart, and the blue powder comes out with a dramatic (and disgusting) poof.
But look, you do you, Paige. If you wanted to reveal the gender of your unborn kid using flatulence, then go nuts. And if the internet is disgusted by your video and decides to roast you for it, well, you kind of set yourself up for that.
For those who care about the baby’s gender, it’s a boy (hence the blue baby powder) but that’s perhaps the least important aspect of this gender reveal.
It’s difficult to process the amount of chaos and grossness in display here. There’s the baby powder visibly lingering in the air for everyone to smell and see (which is a dangerous recipe for pink eye if there ever was one), the woman’s friends cheering like maniacs over this horrendous display, and there’s a poor dog in the background that’s forced to put up with all this nonsense.
But the biggest victim of this shambolic farting saga is the poor unborn baby. One day they’re going to come across this gender reveal clip and their mum is going to have to awkwardly explain the reasoning behind shoving baby powder up her butt and farting it out, all for the sake of views on the internet.
Talk about being the butt of a joke.
