Potato Salad Kickstarter at $71,530 of $10 goal (kickstarter.com)

I have no idea what to say! One one hand it is silly, on another, what a marketing mechanism.

Could he pocket the left over money after the event? I could imagine there could be quite a deal left over...

I've seen lots of articles tonight mentioning raising $70k+ and now it's down to $43k. Is Kickstarter rolling back/freezing it or...?

This is why the Internet sucks sometimes.
