NYC's 'Cigarette Roach' Is Lighting Up Twitter

Move over, Pizza Rat! You've got some seriously stiff competition! A few days ago, Twitter user Tom Kretchmar uploaded a video of a cigarette-toting cockroach flirting with a subway grate. The video quickly went viral, gaining over 3.7 million views in as many days. Twitter users were quick to put their own spin on the tweet, making jokes about artsy New York college students, and other animals with a nicotine addiction. The responses are almost as good as the video itself.
