After coming so strong about how great plastic is, I have two brief stories 
about how bad it can be.

The tuner/remote-control for my Sony Discman has a spring-loaded pocket clip. 
The clip broke the other day at the point of greatest stress. One of the shaft 
mounting holes on the body of the control also cracked. Clearly a bad choice of 
plastic.

Sunday I shot portraits of a friend, using his Canon AE-1. One of the lenses 
was a plastic-barreled Canon zoom lens. Yuck! It's products like this that give 
plastic a bad name. If there were any proof the Japanese lack aesthetic sense 
(at least when it comes to consumer products), this is it.
