Pluto No Longer a Planet

ORLANDO (AP) - With the death of Mickey in 1996, it was only a matter of time until those, whose careers were launched upon the success of the fabled rodent, would be touched in a negative way.

Reached in Orlando, Florida, Mickey's widow exclaimed, "It's all so cruel. I'm sorry I've lived long enough to see it all fall apart. This wouldn't have happened if my husband was still alive. He adored that stupid dog." It is rumored that the beloved Minnie has turned to drinking and hardly touches her cheese.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.
