Too many lawyers who want to look useful.

I actually remember my boss telling me to put bullshit clauses in contract drafts so that those people have something to chew at and refrain from messing with the actual matter of the contract.

This is a well known tactic, and it works. When discussing a list of points in a meeting, the secret is to have a big controversial question come up first (that you don't actually care about): dealing with this first question eats up time, but what's better, it exhausts everyone. Then all the following points are much easier to sell.

Reminds me of this:

It was on HN a while back.

I would guess they would use this clause in a trial if someone links to their site with something the dont like, ie: "ryanair kill my dog"

Probably to stop online 'price compare' or 'find a bargain' website. Ryanair want people to buy via their site so they can upsell.

Ryanair probably hates airline deal sites.
