Taylor Swift parody targets blood ban rule

How does one take on the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) rules about gay men giving blood? Use a Taylor Swift song, of course.

Jake Wilson took Taylor Swift's massive hit Bad Blood and turned it into a call to change FDA restrictions.

Since 1977, men who have had sex with other men have not been allowed to donate blood in the United States. A new proposed guideline might finally lift this ban - but with restrictions. Gay and bisexual men would be allowed to donate blood, but only if they haven't had sex with another man in the last 12 months.

The parody - Sad Studs - has been watched more than 200,000 times on YouTube, and Wilson is asking for watchers to tell the FDA what they think of the restriction.
