O’Leary has made a career and built Ryan Air into what it is now out of stuff like this LOL. They have very little advertising and take advantage of any press they can get. Love it.

I’m Irish and Michael O’Leary is a household name here. To say he’s colourful is an understatement, but he has done a phenomenal job with Ryanair. He was sh*tposting long before sh*tposting was invented.
