It wasn’t NASA tho - it was the International Astronomical Union (IAU):

NASA’s New Horizons mission made a close pass of Pluto this week. For more than 70 years, Pluto was one of nine planets recognised in our Solar System.

But in 2006, it was relegated to the status of dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). So why was Pluto demoted?

Nothing can warm up Pluto's cold, dead(ly) heart.

So much fuss about a glorified asteroid.

I like pluto but pluto only got his status as dwarf planet so a certain astronomers get less angry nonetheless Pluto is an asteroid.

Always "Pluto, Pluto, Pluto". Why does no one ever remember Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake? They're each as much of a "planet" as Pluto is.

Heart? No, it actually looks like Disney's Pluto...

I thought this said "Heart of rice" and the rest about Pluto got pretty confusing
