Okay, so, as everyone obviously knows, because of China's human rights violations, people keep trying to derail the Olympic Torch, because they oppose China. But what makes me giggle is who invented the Olympic Torch ceremony:

The Nazis

As you can see in this article, the tradition was started in 1936 by Nazi Germany, who considered the flame sent from the Ayrans, further proving Germany's "superiority".
