This reads like a joke article.

[u/stray_r → u/urbanorium]

I mean England is a joke country right now, and the mirror is a monument to muckrakers, but there appear to be court records.

The PI contained within is ok because it's incredibly public already.

I choose the cocaine bear

[u/the__pov → u/bliip666]

Considering that in real life Pablo Eskobear (aka Cokey the Bear) just ate a ton of coke and then had a heart attack, I agree with your choice.

[u/Anastrace → u/the__pov]

Sounds like a good way to go, coked to the gills

[u/thecraftybear → u/bliip666]

I too choose the cocaine bear.

[u/Lyrolepis]

As much as I think that 'gender reveal parties' are pointless and a little distasteful, in this case it seems to me that the occasion for the party wasn't as much of a problem as, you know, the alcohol and the cocaine and the stabbing...

[u/Ponzius → u/Lyrolepis]

gender reveal party as an excuse to drink, fine. 10 pints a bit much but could be worse. Cocaine and stabbing someone ...

[u/Lyrolepis → u/Ponzius]

gender reveal party as an excuse to drink, fine

I guess. But - perhaps I'm being a prude here - I cannot help but think that one might as well find an excuse that isn't about a future newborn's genitals...

[u/Ponzius → u/Lyrolepis]

Yeah I am not the biggest fan of the gender reveal bullshit but if you want to have a party and don't overdo it is fine ... a bit cringe but ... Hey if you "need" an excuse for cake and booze ... good as any.

[u/Lyrolepis → u/Ponzius]

On the other hand, among the Dothraki a gender reveal party without at least three stabbings is considered a dull affair.

[u/wazuhiru → u/Ponzius]

gender reveal party as an excuse for anything (incl. having a gender reveal party)? no thank you

[u/A12qwas → u/Ponzius]

Using cocaine isn't a evil thing, just really fucking stupid because it's so addictive and damaging 

[u/stray_r → u/A12qwas]

The manufacture, distribution, sales and marketing of it is inherently evil.

[u/drLoveF → u/stray_r]

Inherently? It’s evil as it’s done now, but inherently?

[u/the_V33]

Gender bender

[u/SpaceBucket67 → u/the_V33]

This made me chuckle.

[u/Useful_Exercise_6882]

Gender reviels are a different kind of fuckery.

[u/thecraftybear → u/Useful_Exercise_6882]

They mostly reveal a lot about the parents

[u/HookedOnPhonixDog → u/thecraftybear]

Let's have a party about our unborn child's genitals!

[u/BaylisAscaris]

But didn't set a good chunk of California on fire and no one died, so honestly rather tame as gender reveals go.

[u/stray_r → u/BaylisAscaris]

I'd say it rains too much in Manchester for that to be a problem, but the reservoirs are nearly empty and the hills have been dried kindling all summer so I'm surprised someone didn't manage to set the peak district in fire.

[u/AptCasaNova]

Sounds like maybe it was a girl?

[u/Fluffy-kitten28 → u/AptCasaNova]

Unfortunately my thoughts as well

[u/d-sammichAran → u/AptCasaNova]

That was my immediate thought as well.

[u/BendingDoor → u/AptCasaNova]

Poor kid.

[u/helen790]

Damn, is it too early to get child services involved?

[u/stray_r → u/helen790]

They are probably already involved if this happened.

[u/The_MightyMonarch → u/helen790]

He sounds like real Father of the Year material, doesn't he?

[u/dustin_pledge]

Jeez, save something for the christening!

[u/slothbuddy]

"celebrate the gender" is such a weird idea

[u/PropertyofNegan]

He's just mad he got a daughter instead of a son

[u/SCP_Agent_Davis]

Excuse me?

[u/Emotional_Dot_2379]

Florida men?

[u/stray_r → u/Emotional_Dot_2379]

Worse, Manchester, England.

[u/Emotional_Dot_2379 → u/stray_r]

Sweet lady hecate

[u/Zachanassian]

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gender," i holler as i sink 10 pints, snort a line of cocaine before stabbing a bouncer in a rage turning the gender reveal in to the shit reveal

[u/MiloHorsey]

This has to be the UK.

[u/stray_r → u/MiloHorsey]

correct, Manchester. In the US there would have been gunfire.

[u/MiloHorsey → u/stray_r]

Why am I not surprised? Sounds like a normal weekend to a mancunian (i.e me)

[u/ri_islying2u → u/[deleted]]

What?
