Consciously cute?

[sollers]

I'm watching BBC News this morning and there was, of course, a bit on the Tour de France.

At one point, in a field between the camera and the cyclists, there were three donkeys wearing brightly coloured coats. wandering around. Then they all lined up, side by side, facing the camera. Very sensibly, for a good few moments, the camera operator focussed on them.

Evidently the camera operator knows his audience.

I am curious, though. Is it very cold in France right now? I wouldn't think donkeys would need to wear coats in July.

These are special Tour de France donkey jackets ...

Ah, mystery solved.

Thank you. Also, they are VERY cute Eyores in their special jackets.
