Call it the poor man’s bulletproof vest.

A DVD took a bullet for a South Carolina man at a waffle house, leaving him with little more than a bruise.

Barry McRoy said he was leaving a restaurant on Saturday morning when two men ran in fighting over a gun. A shot was fired, striking McRoy in the upper leg, but no blood was drawn.

The bullet was stopped by the DVD McRoy was carrying in his pocket.

“I was saved by a DVD,” McRoy said. “How lucky can you get?”

“Lookin’ Good for Jesus” is a sin.

So say Singapore shoppers of a new cosmetics line of that name, which extols the virtues of soft skin with products like “Get Tight with Christ” hand and body cream.

“These products trivialize Jesus Christ and Christianity,” said one shopper.

The line has since been pulled.
