The Web offers a multitude of options when it comes to investigating current and past vestiges of pop culture, usually as reflected by fashions, fads, art and various forms of media. Plastic , on the other hand, endeavors to reflect today's pop culture through the news - and at the same time, demonstrates that a site without content is not necessarily a bad thing. That is to say, no original news content. It's not a 'hard news' site, though you'll occasionally find hard news in its pages. Keyword searching is available for more specific explorations.
Plastic seems just far enough off center to be worth the trip.
