      you'd think with how common it has become for explosives and shit people would stop trying to do something so extravagant but nope, these people all probably either are blissfully unaware or just like, "well im different"

        Seeing as the 2019 and 2020 wildfires in California were set off by gender reveal parties you would think so.

        The Roman Emperor Nero would occasionally light his evening banquets with burning prisoners. You also may have heard about the big fire that happened under his reign. Rich people will always believe they are above any rules, because the law and social niceties don't apply to them.

        people would stop trying to do something so extravagant

        The overwhelming majority of gender reveal parties just involve, like, cutting into a cake with a particular color of frosting or turning on a colored light-bulb or some shit.

        Most people can't afford skywriting, to begin with.

    Man the bourgeois fuck on that boat is a huge piece of shit

    Too bad the pilots didn’t eject and let the plane drop on the boat

    You know, the first time I heard the term "Gender reveal party" I assumed it was a coming out as trans party. The idea you'd be that obsessed over the gender of the child instead of its actual existence never occured to me.

      I have seen something like that. There's a big present and a woman pops out of it like "surprise, it's a girl" and it's kinda cute.

    I watched this video earlier. Classic banking stall. Speculation is that the pilot was distracted by the need to get the banner out and lost track of his airspeed.

        As soon as he realized they were in a stall, he had to know he was dead. Very few planes in the world can recover from a stall at that height, and that's not one of them.

      Don't the banner planes usually take off with the banner deployed? Could be wrong, but I thought I'd seen that

        Yes, that's the normal procedure (or some catch them by hook after takeoff), but this wasn't, from the sound of things, a company that normally did classic banner hauls. It could also be a translation issue of what exactly they were supposed to deploy to show the gender.
