When Your Misfortune Depends On Something That Doesn't Exist

Have you guys heard that Pluto have just been demoted and has went through the "Unplaneterization Process"?
For 17 years of my life I grew up recognizing 9 planets in our solar system. Life was simple, life was easy. But NO~~! Some retard had to restructure the content of our solar system and *poof* goes Pluto. "Thanks for acting as a planet for nearly 80 years but I'm sorry, we're letting you go."
Such ungrateful bastards!
So OK, what if Pluto might be a little smaller than normal and have a weird orbit that somehow cuts into Neptune's orbit. For all we know it might be Neptune going into Pluto's orbit right? And just because it's small, you ain't recognizing it anymore? Does this mean you're gonna disregard all the little people in this world too? Such infringement of basic rights!
But anyway, why the hell am I complaining. It's not like my life depended on it. However, I do feel deep sympathy for our dear bomohs and fortune tellers. I mean just imagine. For centuries they earned their keep by reading the stars based on the 9 planets and now, they're gonna have to restructure their whole "9 Easy Steps To Bomoh-dom" syllabus to fit only 8 planets.
And what about the people who had their fortune told for the future years? Will all those predictions be forfeited now that we've just lost a planet in our solar system? I pity those fools who have just done setting their wedding dates only to wake up today realizing their going to have to go through all the fortune-telling process again just cause some scientists felt bored and decided to unplaneterize something.
And I read The Bintang today bout some hot-shot local politician who decided to retire when he's 68 because 67 and 69 are bad numbers for him. Something about sexually bad energy or something. He even set a date for his big day according to what the local bomoh ministry told him about the stars and planets. But now that Pluto have been demoted, will his lucky 68 still stand? Who knows, something might have been twisted in some unimaginable way and instead of getting the "Bad Sex" years, 68 might be a "Retire and Die" year, right? So to prevent any unwanted mishaps happening over some stupid matter on what day he should retire, he's probably going to take like a month off from his job to get his fortune retold. I mean not that it would really matter because something tells me 90% of the politicians in this country are better off asleep and doing nothing than trying their hands which is dirtied with corruption at something stupid only to fail and waste the tax-payers' money.
But my main point is... How can they just demote a planet out of the blue?!!? So they went through a FEW meetings and conferences... But didn't they even have the decency to ask the public what they felt? Cause I also have this strange hunch that tells me all of the bomoh community and their foolish followers will probably put their hands down and say "Nay".
Anyway, "Bye Mr. Pluto. Hope your demotion might bring me some fortune real quick."

Updated: Hold on, let me get something straight first. So basically right now, Jupiter which is made out of gas is still a planet, whereas Pluto which is something solid is no longer one? I mean what the *toot* is that? How can you possibly call a gas thing a planet? For all we know it might be just some kind of mirage in space or something!

Where did you get that news from? Howcome i've never heard of so.

I did read before somewhere that pluto is just a giant asteroid that happen to come into the solar system orbit.
Beyond pluto is and asteroid belt or somethin and that's where pluto was originally from.

If That's so...they dun recognise it as a planet anymore should be a right thing...though it will feel weird as all through most people's lives...they've known the solar system to have 9 planets.

Long comment...hope it makes ya happy happy~
