Injured by a Thong

Last night, one of my advisors emailed to alert me about a woman who is suing Victoria Secret for an injury caused by a thong.

Without time to get on the web to research this article, my mind wandered about "thong injuries" and what I might write in response to this occurrence.

"Hmmm... have I ever been injured by a thong?" I thought to myself. Okay, so some thongs do cause abrasion... in which case, I tend to switch brands. But I can't imagine an injury so severe that I would sue.

Indeed, I switched to thongs loooong ago when frankly I decided I'd rather have LESS fabric crawling up my behind than would normally occur with bikini underwear. Plus, I hate panty lines.

In the early days, when G-Strings were the only thong-like product on the market and they were mostly thought of for strippers or products found in porn shops ... I had to endure the discomfort of too much material wedging up my butt. I had my high school boyfriend trained to pull it out for me (while dressed).. so I didn't have to do it myself. Ahh... now that was a well trained man!

Anyway, after my own analysis of thong experiences I came to find that the "Thong Lawsuit" is due to a small decorative piece of metal that flew off the thong and flew into this poor woman's eye, scratching her cornea.

This is definitely not a fun situation but I can think of a million things that have flown into my eyes and I certainly haven't found a way to sue anyone over it. Good Luck Lady.

Mike, this blog is for you... I know you will relish in this discussion!

Here is a link to the article for those of you that care to read:

If it happened to me, I'd sue, too! It sounds like she was really hurt and that type of damage might not be reversible (I don't know for sure). I wonder, however, how the piece of metal (which I'm thinking was a rhinestone or rhinestone casing) went from her backside, traveled up and around into her eye. Then again, maybe it didn't happen while she was wearing the underwear. The lesson: Don't wear undergarments with sharp objects sewn onto them.
