Bloodsucking video game peripheral suspended by Kickstarter

Kickstarter suspended funding for a project that claimed to match a console game controller to a blood collection unit, ostensibly to draw blood in real life whenever a player was shot in a game such as Call of Duty. "Blood Sport: The Ultimate in Immersive Gaming" had its funding suspended two hours ago, stopping at $3,390 of the $250,000 (both figures Canadian) sought. The creators, "Brand Grotesque" pitched the idea as a peripheral to facilitate or enhance blood donation events, but also claimed responsibility for two video-game themed stunts from 2009 and 2010.
