Woman sues Victoria's Secret over thong injury

Thong A woman is suing Victoria's Secret, saying that she was injured by her thong. The Los Angeles woman claims a metal heart embellishment flew off and hit her in the eye when she was trying to slip into a blue low-rise ditty from the "sexy little thing" line.

Wronged by a thong. Dinged by a G-string. Cue the thong song. As if the late night shows needed any more fodder, check out what her attorney said on the TODAY show: "Victoria's Secret does have its angels, but as we say, the devil is in the details. And the details here will definitely show that there's a defective product."

Beauty can hurt. But visible panty lines are painful, too.

CHARLENE FROM WEST LOS ANGELES

THIS LADY HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT SUE OVER SOMETHING THIS SILLY. GO TO SEARS AND GET YOU SOMETHING THAT FITS YOU RIGHT!!!!!

Curt

Too many lawyers in this world.

What the  . . ?

The plaintiff being too stupid to put on underwear without hurting herself is really more a fault of genetics than it is a failure by Victoria Secret.

Typical

People will sue for anything these days! Any attorney even giving such fodder this much thought should be ashamed but I'm guessing that word in not in their vocabulary. It's apparent it's not in Miss Panty Loser's either

Stephanie Hayes

Seriously, if I ever got injured by a thong, the only person who would know about it would be my closest friends after an ill-advised third glass of wine. And I'd swear them to secrecy.

Alicia

Seriously, this is such BS!! The JUDGE will laugh at the so called heffer who busted her panties up!!

Perno

Granted I'm sure this lady isn't a size 2, but for the price they charge for those things they should make delicious omelets, not have little do-hickies flying off.
