Pluto or not Pluto

Recently, several wittier people than me have commented on recent news on whether Pluto is a planet or not. (specifically, John Scalzi [and by proxy, his adorable daughter] and Scott Westerfeld have gotten into a gentlemanly--so far--disagreement over the matter)

I've sat on the sidelines long enough. I've listened to all the arguments and all the reasons on why Pluto should be considered a planet or not (and compelling arguments they were, in fact Scott even uses graphics while Scalzi resorts to video). I just can't let these false ideas be perpetrated any longer.

The truth is, everything revolves around the Earth, or to be specific, around me (see below for photographic evidence; I mean, Christ! Look at that photo! Look how f'ing huge I am?!) And you know what I have hidden behind my back with that smirkety smirk?

It's frickin' Pluto all you hayters! It doesn't matter if it's a planet or not because I have it and I'm not letting any of you all play with it anymore!
