Ground crew at Dublin airport got a little artistic with the snow. A passenger saw it, got upset and tweeted about it.

Well, most companies would have reacted as follows:

- Fire all people involved.

- Seminar plus internal memo "What are we allowed to draw in the snow?".

- Donate a chunk of money to an organisation that helps the victims of... ??? .... snow genitalia?

- Hire a female CEO.

- Press release: "We fired everyone involved, trained our employees, donated money and hired a female CEO."

Cost: a few millions

Ryanair's reaction: " While our ground crew excel at industry leading 25 minute turnarounds, art isn't their forte, as they've clearly forgotten to draw wings on their snow airplane."

Cost: 0

I approve.

When I was in high school, somebody drew an owl transforming into an airplane for an art project. The teacher liked it, so this was prominently displayed in a hallway showcase for weeks:

Kinja'd!!!
