Pluto Gets Support Group
In a strongly worded statement, the Seven Dwarves have slammed the International Astronomical Union for taking away Pluto's status as a planet.
"Although we think it's DOPEY that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people GRUMPY and others just SLEEPY, we are not BASHFUL in saying we would be HAPPY if Disney's Pluto would join us as an eighth dwarf," they insisted.
"We think this is just what the DOC ordered and is nothing to SNEEZE at."
Pluto the dog made his debut in 1930 — the same year that a 24-year-old American astronomer, Clyde Tombaugh, discovered what until now was called the ninth and outermost planet.
A white-gloved, yellow-shoed source close to Disney's top dog said: "I think the whole thing is goofy.
"Pluto has never been interested in astronomy before, other than maybe an occasional howl at the moon."
Well, what did you expect? So far it has been a slow news day.

Hm…nothing from the Bugs Bunny camp yet? So far, the critisism seems to be only coming from the Land of the Mouse. If Bugs joins in, we might need a UN resolution to resolve the row…
