Yesterday, we wrote about Macrida Patterson, who sustained an eye injury from a bit of metal flying off her thong. After viewing the current selection of v-strings by Victoria's Secret, we determined that it had to have been a truly horrific bedazzled thong with matching veil. Macrida — who, by the way, is by no means fat or "old" looking despite the nasty comments thrown her way at Consumerist — and her lawyer were on the Today show this morning with The Thong, which was blue-green and lacy, not white and bedazzled.

A perusal of Consumerist's comments (urged on by a reader) hurt my eyes worse, though. More »

Thank God: The thong is dead! The paper we love to hate, Britain's Daily Mail, reports that women are giving up on thongs because they're both uncomfortable and trashy-looking. In 2003 thongs accounted for 1/3 of the underwear market's sales, but now that figure is closer to 13%. How the mighty have fallen...and finally. [Daily Mail] More »
