Can I have his job?

This is from CNN Money's The Top 100 Stupidest Moments in Business in 2005. A truly hilarious read, to be sure, but my jaw didn't hit the desk until I came to this one:

29. Men, on the other hand, have a charming self-destructive quality.
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.

Note to self: when I become a top creative director at a worldwide ad agency, and I have to speak at an ad industry event to my colleagues and peers, I will not get drunk first.
