  1. Pluto's Attitude by The+Famous+Brett+Wat · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pluto has been fairly bitter about our attitude toward it in times past. The Brunching Shuttlecocks have interviewed Pluto on two previous occasions [ first interview, second interview ], on the second of which it complained about the lack of attention we've been giving it, and also claimed to support life. I wonder whether these latest developments will change its tune at all.
