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.

Well as much as I hate corporate America, this lady has no case.   Why?   Because Pete Manzo clearly stated back in October of 2005 that 49 years old is the maximum age for a chick to still be wearing a thong.  After that it’s granny panties or you’re basically begging for an eye injury.    Here is the excerpt from his original How Old is Too Old article in case you forgot:

Wearing a thong - Maximum age: 49. I don’t care who you are or what kind of shape you’re in, once you hit 49, ladies, the party’s over. Cry, cry as you may. I know it’s tough. But I’m pretty sure Sisqo didn’t have his Grandma in mind when he invented the thong back in ’99. The point is not whether you’d physically look good wearing one. That’s irrelevant. There just comes a time psychologically where you have to look in the mirror, saggy breasts and all, and say to yourself, “I can’t wear these anymore.” Then dramatically hang up your thongs….forever.
