Victoria's Secret? She's a Killer

CALIFORNIA - A 52-year old Los Angeles woman has filed a lawsuit against Victoria Secret because she claims as she was attempting to put on a "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret "Sexy Little Thing" line, a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries.

Dangerous products should be removed from shelves, and bodily harm caused by these products should be fixed. But are those the real problems here?

Maybe people born before 1956 shouldn't be wearing thongs. Although, I guess middle-aged people have a right to conceal panty lines too. But how hard was she cramming this thong onto her body that a metal piece flew off in an upward motion, and at such a velocity that she didn't have time to close her eyes? If your thong can be described as a "Sexy Little Thing" and you are a "Sexy Medium or Greater Thing," then make the neccesary arrangements to wear clothes that will not attack you for the strain that you are putting on them.

I have lost buttons from shirts before, but I don't think they've even flown sideways before, let alone up. It's time to take some personal responsibility. Victoria Secret sold this lady a thong; she was the one who turned it into a slingshot.
