A lulu on the list of 101 Dumbest Moments in Business -- an advertising dude takes sexism to the next level

Speaking at an ad industry event in Toronto, WPP Group's worldwide
creative director, Neil French, says there aren't more female creative
directors "because they're crap" and they eventually "wimp out" and "go
off and suckle something." French speaks from a stage decorated as a
hunting lodge while being served drinks by a woman in a skimpy maid's
outfit, of whom he asks, "Could you lean over a bit more?" Two weeks
later WPP accepts French's resignation.
