Woman sues Victoria’s Secret over a thong

Now I’ve seen everything. A 52-year-old woman from Los Angeles is suing Victoria’s Secret over a pair of thong underwear. I’ll just let that sink in for a second.

She claims that a metal clip flew off of the panties and hit her in the eye, causing immense pain. The metal was apparently securing a rhinestone heart.

First, do you know any 52-year-olds that shop at VS? Seriously? Or still wear thongs?

Um, honey, I hate to tell you this, but things usually only fly off of stuff like that if you’re, well, stretching them a little too much. You know, like trying to stuff a sausage. Either that, or she was a little too vigorous when she was putting them on.

It’s entirely possible that it happened that way. It’s also entirely possible that this could only happen in L.A. I’m just saying.

    Makes you wonder if it came with a crochet hook to pry it out of her 52 year old butt.

    Perhaps she was trying to recapture her youth.
    Maybe VS could include an users manual with there items??? (heeheehee).

    @marta - you go girl!
    @sheila - hey as long as we don’t have to see it…
    @vi - you said it.
    @douglas - interesting accessory idea there.
    @michelle - that’s our goal, glad you enjoyed it!
    @cat lady - thong instruction manuals? i think i’d pay NOT to see that.

    I have to say it. Thaw-thaw-thaw-th-thong! And that will be the last time Sisqo is ever relevant. Thank you1

    I’m not sure if that even makes him relevant, Brian. LOL!

    LOL!

    What concerns me is that now,
    because of this lady, we’ll have warning labels in our underwear now - cautioning about the effects of too-tight undergarments and super-wedgies.

    Oh… and to “be aware of sequins, rhinestones and accessories as they might cause bodily harm or blindness.”

    Best,

    i am fit and i don’t wear one. After 30 or after a baby it is just not lady like. Quit trying to capture your youth and get on granny!!!!

    @victoria - how about a warning that says thongs may cause atomic wedgies?

    @renee - I stand corrected (from earlier comments) that there are women over 50 who wear them. I just don’t think I’ll be one of them.

    How are people able to sue over such ridiculousness? You would think she would be too embarrassed to file a suit like that?

    As they say, if you have a few dollars and a lawyer you can sue anyone for anything.

    I’m not even sure people know to be embarrassed anymore.
