Vuv-A-Licious Mom: A California woman is suing Victoria's Secret, claiming she suffered permanent damage to her cornea. The perpetrator: a pair of panties.

Marcrida Patterson, 52, says she was trying on the Victoria's Secret undergarment when a metallic embellishment attached to a thong popped off and hit her in the eye. Now she wants the company to pay.

I have many questions as a consumer, woman, and attorney.

Was she putting the thing on her head? Practicing yoga in the dressing room? Why was she trying on a g-string? I didn't realize people tried on thongs, and I am traumatized by the news.

This is a "products liability" case alleging the g-string was defective. I must ask her attorney, defective for what purpose? Should the product have a label that says, "Do not attempt to wear as a hat"? "This product was not created for use as a slingshot"? "Do not attempt to put g-string on at lightning speeds that will cause jewels to ricochet in your face"?

I don't get it. This Vuv thinks this is just taking "litigious-ness" to new levels and the plaintiff, Ms. Patterson, should simplify her life by dropping the suit and either dropping the panties or choosing less-adorned ones.

Like I said, unless she was trying on the thong backwards and peeking in her crotch, I have no idea how it popped in her eye.

Another example of a frivolous lawsuit.

Maybe underwear should now come with instructions like my bluetooth headset did.

It would be my guess that VS only makes panties so big. She was prob try’n to get her fat A$$ into something she shouldn’t even think about. My ex wife wore many things from VS and other lingeri items, and she never had a problem with things fly’n off and hitting anything esp her eyes. Heck at times we even tore them off very fast and they were still intact. This is just some stupid lawsuit.

me my mom my brother and my dad were making fun of her in Denny’s how stupid is this case? i mean come on.. she’s 52 :\ thats kinda old for a woman to wear a thong in my opinion and wtf? how the hell could she have been hit in the eye? my mom says they don’t even have metallic embellishment on their thongs ahaha w/e i can’t stop laughing at this. She’s going to lose the case. (:

This case just presents a horrible mental picture.
