Victoria's Secret Sued Over Thong Incident

AOL
Posted: 2008-06-18 17:11:56
A 52-year-old California woman is suing lingerie giant Victoria's Secret, claiming that a "design flaw" on a pair of V-string panties caused her to suffer an eye injury. According to court documents, Macrida Patterson says that a decorative metallic object flew off of a thong she was trying, causing permanent cornea damage, after striking her in the eye. It's the latest lawsuit involving the lingerie maker this year.

The real winner- as always- will be the lawyers!

Didn't she realize it went around her waist, if it wasn't on her head the metal thngy wouldn't have shot into her eye!!! I bet right after the court case is settled, she 'accidently' spills hot McDonalds coffee in her lap!

Really though..........she's 52 (fifty two) years old and wearing a thong.
Maybe she just didn't read the INSTRUCTIONS on how to put them on!

I mean going from granny panties, big white boat sails.......to VC thongs must be a very difficult, one is bound to get HURT.

I want to sue Victoria Secret as well. I was watching their lingerie show and got a massive erection. It popped two buttons off my 501's, which in turn struck my wife in the head and now she refuses to let me watch show's with scantily clad women. That is permanent emotional damage and worth at least a cool million (or a private lap dance with one of their models!!). Seriously, any one will sue for anything these days. People should just take responsibilty for their actions. Judges should start throwing out these stupid cases or start fining scumbag lawyers who will take on any case just for the chance to get at corporate money!!!

Mawrhys what the hell r u talking about your statment makes no sense at all.

Victoria Secret is leud with the things in the windows at the mall, cramming their things before eyes of those that do not want to put such before their eyes. Then people wonder why so many young men behave the way they do today.

Somebody sue AOL for not haveing a photo of her !

Hey Victoria.... If you're constantly shedding blood over trying on clothes because there's a tag, maybe you should stay out of the stores. You sound like a real klutz to me. BTW....I have NEVER cut myself on a tag while trying on clothes. LOL
