If your gender reveal involves babies fighting - time to rethink your life

Guys, I think it's officially gone too far. 

Bizarre gender reveal has babies fighting in the streets00:05:40

Just when you thought gender reveals couldn't get any weirder, a new trend has people dressing up like giant babies and punching each other - the reveal comes when one baby wins.

It's only February, but already, gender reveals have spun well out of control. 

How did this tradition that started with a cute cake cutting party or a balloon pop evolve into a full on over the top spectacle? 

Just to briefly catch you up on the past few months of gender reveal madness, we've seen: pink and blue lasagnes, burn outs, fireworks that start forest fires, gun reveals, smoke reveals and manicure reveals - ENOUGH! 

But the madness marches on, and now, a woman named Summer Walker in the US has shared the latest in gender-reveal insanity. 

A video posted to Summer's Instagram shows two inflatable babies, one with a blue nappy and the other with a pink bib and dummy. 

Cute, if not a little odd, right? Wrong. The blow-up babies soon come to, well, blows.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ever wanted to see two giant blow-up babies punching each other? Well, then you're in luck because that's exactly how this 'reveal' played out. The blue baby hit the pink baby, the pink baby retaliated, until finally - the pink baby tumbles to the ground and the blue baby stands, victorious!

This means, obviously, that the baby is a ... Boy. And the pink baby lies motionless on the ground. 

It's different... 

"Awww it’s bwoooyyyyy  (sic) my sister getting marriedddd and she pregnetttttt (sic)" Summer captioned the post. 

The post has attracted a lot of attention, some of it positive: "I’m stealing this for when I get pregnant," wrote one woman. "This is very creative." 

To the less positive: "This is weird and just scary," wrote another commenter.  

What do you think? Did you go big for your gender reveal or is the whole tradition a little bit silly?
