Resident Evil 5 blood drive captured on video, lampooned

Last week, large-hearted gamers who attended Capcom’s Resident Evil 5 blood drive event in downtown Los Angeles learned a very valuable lesson — altruism won’t protect you from the slings and arrows of comedic television personalities. Ben Hoffman, a correspondant for Current TV humor-news program InfoMania, got a chance to interview a few RE5-crazed hemoglobin spillers at the event, who were largely unaware that he was surreptitiously making fun of them.

As incensed as we should be at this flagrant display of disrespect, it’s actually sorta funny in a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog kind of way. Judge for yourself — you can watch the whole segment on the Current TV site.
