Nearly blinded by thong panties

This is a simply tragic situation...

June 23, 2008

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A woman who says she was hurt by her thong panties when a metal clip flew off and hit her in the eye has sued Victoria's Secret, saying in a TV interview on Thursday that the injury caused her "excruciating pain."

Macrida Patterson, a 52-year-old Los Angeles traffic officer, told NBC's "Today" show that she suffered cuts to her cornea from the small piece of metal that had been used to secure a rhinestone heart onto the blue thong.

"I was putting on my underwear from Victoria's Secret and the metal popped in my eye. It happened really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed. That's what happened," Patterson told NBC.

Patterson's lawyer Jason Buccat, who also appeared on the "Today" show, said the metal staple causes "severe damage" to her cornea that required a topical steroid.

The product liability lawsuit, which was filed on June 9 in Los Angeles Superior Court and first reported on the Smoking Gun Web site, seeks unspecified damages.

A spokeswoman for Victoria's Secret, which is operated by Limited Brands Inc, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Dang, I thought this was about thong parties when I first saw the subject. Very disappointed now.

I was nearly blinded when I saw the back of a thong sticking above the pants of a girl that was about 220#.

I think we might be able to turn this into a class action suit.

Certain things, like thongs and spandex, should not be made above a certain size. That should be a law.

Time to impose a weight limit.

Lets just briefly review the list of things fat people shouldn't be allowed to do/wear:

Public swimming pools
Thongs
Spandex
Any tight fitting clothing
Tank tops
The beach
Eat doritos

I saw this the other day, but it was on a bike. I was driving down the street and it came out of nowhere. It burned my retinas.

Behold the glory of the thong (saw it here on LGB first!)
