Ryanair, You Tube clips, and the most bizarre competition in the world!

What do you do when your CEO's off-hand remark about oral sex gets caught on camera? Make a competition out of it of course!

Ryanair's press people are used to having to spin everything (as Flight's staff inboxes can testify) but their heads must have been sore from scratching over Michael O'Leary's remarks about "Beds and Blowjobs" remarks last week while trying to sell their transatlantic opportunities, until the joys of YouTube saved them.




Not only did the video clip reach number one in the travel section of YouTube, but it gave the most talked about of all low-cost airlines something to talk about.

In typical understated manner, "Video clip Climaxes to No. 1 position", Ryanair announced the following:

"Ryanair's Linguistic Department will offer one free return flight to a destination of your choice, for travel from October to December (including taxes and charges) to the first Ryanair passenger translating 'Blowjobs' into German language".

Don't check the translation websites at work though. I am not sure trying to justify that to the boss would work, even if you offered them the free ticket.

Sir,

I find that the Sukhoi super jet is very nice, and also the regional
mitsubishi. Why don't we here about them in
the media ? There could be comments on the
airframe development. They should enter in the
battle Boeing Airbus, and in also the regional
airline competition.

Best Regards,

William Davies.
