As with SOaP, this will be my only entry on this subject.

Admit it: You only wanted Pluto to stay a planet because a) you had to memorize it in grade school, and b) it's just so little and cute.

Actually, technically this isn't my only entry on the subject. New Gaybortion!: Sorry, Pluto.

There's no other case where the impact of the Greek and Roman name of a god is so totally different. One is a cute little not-quite-a-planet and a cartoon dog, and the other is a big scary brother of Zeus and the Abode of the Dead.

I reckon it was the dog that did for the planet status mind you, not any technical size and shape considerations.

It's a moronic dog, but now I'm imagining Hades—or Cerberus—as a Disney character.

No, no, no... gah. If Disney did Cerebrus, the three talking heads would be voiced by really annoying people -- maybe one would be kind of restrained and snotty, like a David Ogden Stiers, one would be really, really insane and keyed up, like a Chris Tucker type, and the other would be a smirky, dry-humor kind of guy, like Jason Alexander. And the three heads would have witty arguments amongst each other, many of which pun on the notion of multiple heads.

Terrible, just terrible, really.

Sanrio Cerebrus, though, would be like triple Purin, which would be the cutest thing in the whole world.

I was sort of hoping that Disney Cerebrus would just eat all the other annoying characters. A girl can dream.

Sanrio Cerebrus

Did you hear that pop sound? That was the sound of my brain exploding from awesome.

I'm afraid it's happened. I'm not sure I want to see that.

Trauma!

Whoops, I totally forgot that Hades did appear in Hercules. I don't recall the three-headed dog.

All I remember about that movie was that:
a. Hades was voiced by James Woods
b. there was original music by Michael Bolton
c. I will never get those 75-90 minutes of my life back.

Pluto the cartoon dog was actually named for the planet.

Maybe in a similar move, Pluto will be demoted as a Disney character.
