Pay For Toilet Joke - Upstaged?

A recent publicity stunt from budget airline Ryanair involved press releases to the effect that they would soon be charging to use the toilet.

Ryanair has jumped on the concept, and is now offering a prize of €1,000 to the person whose idea is chosen as the most creative.

Spokesperson Stephen McNamara said some of the best ideas received so far include selling toilet paper with chief executive Michael O'Leary's face on it and requiring a fee for reading the safety information.
