Man joins Victoria’s Secret thong injury lawsuit
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already.

Woman, 52, sues Victoria's Secret, claims injury from defective thong
JUNE 17--As she was attempting to put on a Victoria's Secret thong, a Los Angeles woman claims that a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye, causing injuries and a new product liability lawsuit against the underwear giant. Macrida Patterson, 52, alleges that she was hurt last May by a defective "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret "Sexy Little Thing" line, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. A copy of her June 9 complaint, which does not specify monetary damages, can be found below. Patterson's lawyer, Jason Buccat, told TSG that a "design problem" caused the decorative piece to come loose and strike Patterson in the eye, causing damage to her cornea. He added that the eye injury, which caused Patterson to miss a few days of work, will be "affecting her the rest of her life." Patterson is a traffic officer with L.A.'s Department of Transportation. Prior to the lawsuit's filing, Victoria's Secret officials asked to examine the garment and the decorative piece, but that request was rejected by Patterson's counsel. For those unfamiliar with "v-strings," the undergarment is the Victoria's Secret variant on the "g-string," which has long been favored in the battle against visible panty lines. (4 pages)

Man joins Victoria’s Secret thong injury lawsuit, claims thong “hurt my balls”
Quote:
LOS ANGLES, CA—A day after 52-year-old Los Angeles traffic officer Macrida Patterson filed suit against Victoria’s Secret, claiming a decorative jewel from one of the company’s thongs had shot into her eye, scratching her cornea and causing her to cry out in pain, a California man has joined the lawsuit, claiming the same model thong “really hurt my balls.”
“I, too, cried out in pain,” said Larry Terry, of his experience with the offending butt floss. “The only difference between Macrida’s injury and my own is that, in my case, it was my jewels that did the hurting, not Victoria’s Secret’s. Plus I didn’t shoot myself in the eye–I haven’t done that since I was nineteen.”
Terry, who wore a kilt under which he claimed was a large bag of Igloo brand ice cradling his own, insisted he’s been forced to go “commando” since his own thong incident.
“The really scary thing is, I’ve been known to wear thongs on my head,” Terry told reporters. “Imagine if I’d used that thong as a panty hat…I might not be here today to speak to you. I might have been turned into a retard.”
Terry has reportedly retained celebrity attorney Gloria Allred to represent him.
“If there’s gonna be anymore ball-busting going on, it’s going to be done by Gloria,” Terry said. “And she’s agreed to stand off where I can see her at all times.”
In the end, for Terry, it’s all about support, something he insists the Victoria’s Secret thong provided him precious little of.
“I just didn’t feel right letting Macrida go it alone trying to stop their jewels from shooting someone else in the eye,” Terry said. “Alternately, I didn’t want to see anyone else get their balls hurt–those panties really hurt my balls.”
