Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

Some headlines just catch your attention, redux.

Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

52 years old. Thong with blue rhinestone heart. I'm thinking that I haven't been living wildly enough (or possibly that I've been living just right, given the outcome.)

I feel bad for her because that injury sounds really painful...I'm not quite sure how it lands one on the Today show, though.

Re Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

On the Today Show, her lawyer actually said, "Well, Victoria's Secret has a lot of angels, but the devil is in the details..."

Hope he can do better than that at the trial

OMG, that's great.

Really, I don't want to laugh at the woman, but, if that did happen to me I can't see myself wanting to get on the Today show and talk about my thong with blue rhinestone heart decoration.

'course, maybe she's more thong worthy at 52 than I am at 47.

Tell me, Matt, what do you think of my thong?

Re Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

BTW, the corneal injury she has sounds awful, but it's what Hubby had a month or so ago. The topical steriods and stuff cleared it up in a couple days, the pain was gone by the time he'd taken the meds twice (about 8 hours) and the whole thing was completely healed in a week.

Hmmm, maybe we could make it look like it came from a grommet flying off one of his boots when he tied them in the morning, and we could sue Timberland...

I'm voting thong, please? Retell this story with hubby and involve a thong. His or yours, doesn't matter.

I am going to sue Andrea. I laughed so hard I think I just collapsed an internal organ or three!

OMG I'm laughing so hard I hurt...

the only thing I buy at victoria's secret is the body spray and lotion. I wouldn't be caught dead in their underware even if they did make it in my size

Re Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

A coworker and I were talking about this story yesterday. One of her friends broke her "wee wee wee" toe putting on underwear one morning. She was in a hurry, toe got caught, she fell forward and simultaneously broke and dislocated the toe.

Re Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

I think the technical term for that sort of thing is "freak accident."

I could be wrong, though.

(Gee, I never have any trouble putting on my thongs -- or taking them off, either. Of course, I don't do rhinestones any more.)

Now, this is what I like. Somebody entering the thread with a thong.

Re Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

Like they say, always have a thong in your heart. (Much less dangerous than a heart on your thong, apparently)
