Blu-ray May Be Tough, But Standard DVD Is Bulletproof

Blu-ray may have won the format war, but standard DVD is still the format of choice for consumers. And we'll soon be seeing DVD's replacing Kevlar in police-issue bulletproof vests. Okay, maybe not, but South Carolina Barry McRoy can testify to the DVD's success in stopping bullets.

After eating breakfast at a local breakfast at a local restaurant, McRoy was just leaving when he was knocked over by two fighting men flying through the entrance. He was knocked over and in the scuffle a gun went off. The bullet shattered a window, but ricocheted right into McRoy's stomach. He felt the hit, but didn't realize he'd been "shot" until he felt shattered DVD in his jacket pocket. Blu-ray is getting all the attention these days, but has a Blu-ray disc ever saved someone's life?
