Woman Sues Victoria’s Secret, Claims Injury From Defective Thong

LOL..ok, when I first read this headline I assumed the injury was ..well, a little more thong region related. After all, to be honest, I can understand where and how wearing certain fashionable thongs can rub some women the wrong way. Yes, pun intended.

Seems to me, unless it was a debilitating injury or blindness, I know, I would not announce to the world that my underwear broke when I tried putting it on.

wink
A Los Angeles woman claims she was injured by her Victoria’s Secret thong, prompting her to sue the underwear manufacturer.

The plaintiff in the case, Macrida Patterson, 52, attributed the May 2007 injury to a Victoria’s Secret “low-rise v-string,” according to a court document posted on The Smoking Gun.

Patterson’s lawyer told The Smoking Gun that a “design problem” caused a decorative metallic piece on the underwear to fly up and hit Patterson in the eye while she was putting the underwear on.

Patterson’s product liability lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week.

The Smoking Gun reported that, prior to the lawsuit, officials from Victoria’s Secret had asked to see the offending underwear but were refused by Patterson’s lawyer.



H/T to the Anonymous One wink

Having had some experience with women on the downslope of 39 years of age, I have to wonder what exactly this 52 year-old was thinking trying on thongs in the first place?  Heather Locklear she ain’t!

Exactly what kind of brilliant mind would think that a piece of sharp metal belongs anywhere near someone’s private parts?  Isn’t it incredible that a designer, their manager, production managers, distributors, and customers all failed to figure this out?

Never mind the reality that “butt floss” is known to work back & forth and infect areas with e coli.....there may be dumber fashion statements than metal laden butt floss, but none come to mind at the moment.

She was putting it on her head?  Seems like that would be the only way something could hit her eye.

Doc,

Apparently she was bent over...ahem… admiring herself when the “decorative metallic piece”, probably a sequin, popped off and hit her in the eye.

A little less narcissistic curiosity, and a larger size thong, and her name wouldn’t be plastered all over the internet.

Let me guess,

This 52-y/o California girl was trying to squeeze into the same size she wore when she was twenty. 

She was in denial with regard to the nature and extent of the growth that her posterior underwent in the intervening years, and the materials suffered catastrophic failure because of the difference.

Why does the phrase 10 lbs. of sh!t in a 5-lb. bag come to mind?

You need to look around, Bubba.  There are plenty of women over fifty that I would love to see parading around in butt floss.

And what many others lack in the superficial they more than make up for in talent and experience, and I would gladly strip their panties off in a New York Minute.

Not to mention, if I’m not mistaken, Heather herself is pushing fifty about now.

Abbadon on June 19, 2008 at 12:04 pm

narcissistic curiosity

Narcissus was looking at her face in a reflection… but I think it was a river and not a sequin.

When I heard this one I thought it was a spoof at first or she was a size 10 trying to fit into a size three.

Hey, Abbaddon--that was Bat One, not me. 

And you can watch for whale tail yourself.  Yuck.

sorry
I just remember the part about the river and turning the courtiers away. i forgot that males had male courtiers back in those days.

How old are you son?  15?  Since when do all older women drag around a big bucket?  Or do you live in one o’ them there flyover states where all yer wimmin folk gots them big buckets by twenty five from eatin them big buckets of greasy chicken and dumplings?  Hoo wee, I shore am glad I live in this here fine state of Californie.

I don’t know.  Maybe it’s me but I don’t see what the problem is with older women

I found some even niocer pics of cougars than that but I don’t think Anna would appreciate the full frontal nudity.

Oh, and Bat One?  Heather Locklear is 47.  Looks like you missed the boat.

Cool, more for me!

Abbadon on June 19, 2008 at 06:31 pm

Closer to three times that, and “whale tail” refers to the underwear peeking out, not the size or age of the wearer.  I just don’t think that particular kind of undergarment is flattering on anyone.  You’re free to have incredibly bad aesthetic taste if you like, though.

Now, now, Bubba, don’t be such a judgmental shit.

Where did I say I like the “whale tail” look, as explained by you?

As far a staste goes, I have enopugh good taste not to refer to myself as “Bubba”.

Abbadon on June 20, 2008 at 09:15 am

From this quote, I correctly inferred that you have incredibly poor taste and find that look attractive.  Duh.

And let’s not tarnish the reputation of millions of perfectly good Bubbas on the basis of one, shall we?  Yeesh.

No you ASSumed I meant parading around with their thong underwear showing above their pants.

Who needs the pants.  And what healthy, red-blooded American male (besides you) would have a problem with this?

I mean, really, dude, get a grip, eh?

Abbadon on June 20, 2008 at 11:01 am

Any red blooded American man who treasures the dignity of his wife, his girlfriend, his daughters, and his other lady friends would have a problem with that, Abaddon. 

So sorry that in addition to having bad taste, you don’t respect the women around you.  Just because she has a rear end does not mean you are entitled to a look at it.

Bike Bubba on June 20, 2008 at 11:15 am

you don’t respect the women around you.

We are talking about under garments right? Because, How does sporting a thong pantie deem one unrespectable?

Anna on June 20, 2008 at 11:57 am

I’m talking about the men, Anna, not respecting women.  That said, I would dare suggest that it’s probable that the woman who bares her rear end for all to see just might not respect herself.

Bike Bubba on June 20, 2008 at 12:02 pm

bares her rear end for all to see

I don’t know what kind of women you associate with but… most women keep their under garments out of the public view and therefore, it should not matter as to what type of pantie she wears.
I’m going to assume you moved on from underwear to swim wear maybe?
I don’t care what others wear and personally I’m a bikini top and cut offs type of gal myself.
The point of my response was to reassure some of you that regardless of age .. some woman in their fifties can look mighty fine and that should be respected also
wink

Anna on June 20, 2008 at 12:20 pm

You’re right about both, Anna; my response was to Abaddon’s quote about wanting to see women parading themselves in what ought to be an undergarment.  Sadly, I do from time to time see evidence that not all understand that undergarments are, indeed, intended to be worn under other garments.

Nice, big blowhole on that one.  Actually, I think this is what they mean by whale tail, in retrospect.  Although it looks more like a bud vase to me…
