Michael O’Leary’s zero-f**ks-given response to last night’s Twitter storm

He couldn’t care less if you were offended.

Ryanair were in the news last night after posting a number controversial tweets that took shots at Aer Lingus who were caught up in a story about suspected immigration offences at Dublin Airport.

The full story (read here) caused outrage on social media and the CEO of Ryanair Michael O’Leary was asked about it at a press conference today.

According to the Irish Examiner, his response was, “I didn’t think they were particularly funny last night when they went out, but I must say I am highly enthused by the reaction and response they have got.

“If we can upset that many snowflakes through Twitter and on social media as well as entertain probably an equal number of somewhat less snowflakey people, I intend to give our social media team a well done note and probably a pay rise.”

Fair enough.
