"1) Ford Perfect: IS NOT BLACK. He is a man with orange hair. Black people don't have orange hair. And he doesn't blink often. I HAD ENOUGH. WHAT'S WITH THIS RACIAL HARMONY BULLSHIT?? DOUGLAS ADAMS MADE FORD PERFECT WHITE, AND SO HE SHOULD BE! Why must always put one black man into show?? I am infinitely annoyed."
Of all the things to be annoyed (although 'disappointed' is far more accurate) at in HG2TG this is not one of them. Personally, I would say that Ford Prefect could actually act in Douglas Adam's original story whereas in the movie, he so patently cannot. In the original he also had a fairly interesting and slightly sarcastic personality, whereas, again, the key to the movie portrayal is 'being cool'. This is less of an update rather than pampering to less educated and larger audiences on continents across certain oceans.
Oh, btw, that's 'Prefect', not Perfect as all HG2TG fans should really know, y'know.
