Headline was inaccurate - they didn't bomb a place for a gender reveal. Instead they bombed a place that produced blue smoke for some other reason and joked about how it resembling a gender reveal. That's...not better but it's an important distinction - one is blowing shit up to announce it's a boy and the other is blowing shit up to blow shit up and then joking about the color of the smoke.
