More and more anthropomorphizing of Pluto. How sad she must feel that the stargazer fire-monkeys of Terra have created a class of objects which excludes her! Does Pluto really read our papers?
After Pluto lost its planetary status, I felt a sense of pity akin to watching the prodigal son of a wealthy merchant being disowned by his father at a family meeting attended by his brothers and grandfather.http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/columns/musings/20060830TDY03003.htm
I guess we all sorta felt that way. And why were the brothers and grandfather there, but no uncles or female relatives? How sad that the prodigal son was disowned during the obon season, too.
This guy, Michael Heaton, seems to feel that Pluto is more like Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson.

Somebody needs to make a collection of these Pluto-nic Anthropomorphisms.
By the way, I hope all this talk about what a "planet" is will help the Japanese to stop referring to the Earth as a "star".
