You Know You Need Media Training When…

Courtesy of my soon-to-be-colleague Bob LeDrew comes this video of RyanAir CEO Michael O’Leary at a news conference.

As Bob says:

“O’Leary tells the reporters that business class travelers will get free oral sex.

The miracle is that nobody’s called for his resignation yet! I’m stunned. The Guardian, for example, merely put it in their quotes of the week.”

Enough said, really.

    While I agree that he could probably use some media training, I think that everyone is taking this video a little too seriously. He’s just kidding around…

    Freudian that he kept putting his pen in his mouth before and after answering the question…

    So…do you think their PR people moved into crisis mode following that wee little comment?
    A good example to use for future media training!

    Brutal! I appreciate the joke, but at the same time… Couldn’t he have come up with something better?
