Car catches fire during gender reveal gone spectacularly wrong

It's a boy! Also, your car is on fire.

A 30-year-old man in Queensland, Australia, was fined $1000 and lost his driver's license for six months after his car burst into flames during a gender reveal burnout. This week, police released drone footage of the whole incident, which was then broadcast on local news -- and which you can watch with great schadenfreude below.

From the looks of the video, the car's two back tires catch fire after the vehicle halts about a minute in. Luckily, the car was surrounded with people observing the spectacle, and they alerted the driver quickly.

There are two valuable lessons to be learned here. First, do not do burnouts. (For the uninitiated, this is when you spin your car's wheels while it's stopped, causing your tires to smoke from the friction.) You will probably start a fire, lose your license, and have to pay $1000.

Second, do not do gender reveals. They are uncool and deeply reductive. This isn't the first gender reveal that ended in disaster, either: Previous attempts have resulted in alligator attacks, baseball injuries, and 47,000 acre wildfires. Please avoid!
