[My Own Stuff] Aer Lingus ticket blunder

After their fiasco of not honouring 5 Euro tickets booked on Wednesday, Aer Lingus decided to honour them, but not the upgraded business seats, which was fair enough. What I found funny was in the Irish Independent papers yesterday, there was a Ryanair ad taking advantage of Aer Lingus' whoopsie.
100,000 REAL (from) €5 SEATS. One-way, no hidden charges.
NO AER LINGUS "MISTAKES"
NO AER LINGUS FAKE OFFERS
NO AER LINGUS FUEL SURCHARGES
I like it that they had the from (I put it in brackets) above the Euro symbol.

Oh, and here is their press release as well. They called Aer Lingus the high fares, way worse airline.
