Shawna Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Thonged in the eye by dainties, she claims By Bill Hutchinson Daily News Staff Writer Tuesday, June 17th 2008, 11:48 PM 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. ********************* I have real problems with this, aside from the fact that this woman evidently didn't know how to put on a thong. Are people allowed to try on thong underwear? And then if they don't get them someone else can/will buy it? Ewwwwwww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thongs are incredibly comfortable. Buccat said the the injury Patterson suffered will affect her "the rest of her life." Yes - because she will always be known as the idiot who sued about getting thonged in the eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Nah, man. A thong has never posed a danger to me. Neither me nor the chicks I date ever wear underwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetrychick Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Interesting panty fact. 80% of all dollar bills have been in the g-string of a stripper. How nice for Mr. Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thongs are something different here in Australia. We call them thongs, rest of the world calls them flip flops I think. So when I read the thread title of this, I thought someone had taken the thong of their foot and thrown it at someone's head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah whenever I hear the word 'thong' here, I have to readjust my brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
