Woman sues Victoria's Secret over thong injury
Now that's an eye-popping thong.
A 52-year-old California woman is suing lingerie giant Victoria's Secret, charging she was hit in the eye by a decorative metallic object that flew off a thong she was trying on.
Macrida Patterson, a traffic officer for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, claims her cornea was severely damaged in the underwear mishap.
Patterson's lawyer, Jason Buccat, told thesmokinggun.com that a "design flaw" with the skimpy garment is to blame.
Patterson was hurt last May while trying on a "low-rise v-string," which is part of the Victoria's Secret "Sexy Little Thing" line, according to the suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
She said the accident caused her to miss several days of work.
Buccat said the the injury Patterson suffered will affect her "the rest of her life."
The v-string is a variant to a G-string and is popular because it eliminates panty lines.
Victoria's Secret officials asked Patterson if they could examine the garment and the allegedly defective decorative piece that hit her, but she rejected their request on the advice of her attorney.

A woman of that age shouldn't even consider wearing a thong in teh first place. This was God's way of telling her to grow the fuck up and act her age.

What bugs me is that it says she was "trying it on". Do people try on thongs and put them back if they don't fit? 
ETA: Dang it. I couldn't find a picture of Macrida. I'm just imagining a 350 lb beast trying to stuff herself in a size "small" thong.

Yeah, I didn't think they allowed you to try on underwear at VS. Unless she tried it on OVER whatever underwear she was wearing.

Give me a break! She's suing because of a "corneal abrasion"? Your cornea is covered with epithelium and heals very quickly. If I got sand in my eye at the beach and rubbed it, I would have a corneal abrasion. So should I sue the beach next time? What a greedy fucktard.

That woman in the McDonald's case actually needed skin grafts though and years of medical treatment. All she initially wanted was for McDonalds to help with her medical bills and they refused.

I can appreciate that someone would need help with their medical bills and I am sorry she got burnt but come on common sense says you don't put a cup of hot coffee between your legs and then drive off. that is what I was trying to get at.
