Several Ways Denis O’Brien Could Improve His Public Image

Denis O’Brien is not a popular man. We would even go so far as to say that he is an unpopular man. Harsh words, we know, but we’re nothing if not straight talkers here in the humour section of HeadStuff.org. Denis O’Brien is an Irish billionaire. So why then doesn’t he act like an Irish billionaire. Irish billionaires should be fun and twinkly-eyed and wear the most fabulous Aran jumpers in existence. If Denis O’Brien wants us to love him then he needs to change. We’re quite dim here in the humour section so we’ll leave analysis of what Denis O’Brien did or didn’t do to some other section. What we’re concerned with is what Denis O’Brien can do to improve his public image. Without further ado, here are our suggestions.


In Order To Make Ireland Love Him, Denis O’Brien Should:

Marry Amy Huberman

Marry Brian O’Driscoll

Marry the latin grooves of Santana with the rock sensibilities of Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 to create an unforgettable pop fusion masterpiece
