What's the problem Earthman?
Maybe it's just me, but our Dave doesn't seem to get anywhere in his Times piece today. So, with apologies to Daniel Davies, shorter David Aaronovitch. And the really short version:
'That's absolutely horrible,' exclaimed Arthur, 'the most revolting thing I've ever heard.'
'What's the problem Earthman?' said Zaphod, now transfering his attention to the animal's enormous rump.
'I just don't want to eat an animal that's standing there inviting me to,' said Arthur, 'It's heartless.'
'Better than eating an animal that doesn't want to be eaten,' said Zaphod.
'That's not the point,' Arthur protested. Then he thought about it for a moment. 'Alright,' he said, 'maybe it is the point. I don't care, I'm not going to think about it now. I'll just ... er ... I think I'll just have a green salad,' he muttered.

My comment on this one would be that series two ought to be a charabanc trip for everyone who has used the phrase "promoting democracy in the Middle East" or "supporting our Iraqi comrades" to go to Walter Reed Hospital and see exactly what they mean. Why should they be insulated from that either?
