A Rat and Pigeon Perform the Olympic Torch Relay

London's most athletic vermin run the torch in this charming animation.

Now here's an Olympic event I would actually watch: The sprightly vermin of London racing to get a torch to the finish line.

Except in this case, the "torch" is a lit cigarette or a dry twig. And the celebration at the "finish line" might get a person jailed in most countries. It makes you question the vermin's motive having the torch relay in the first place – is it for the love of sport, or a psychopathic mission to destroy a London city block?
