Ad Guru Says 'Women Are Crap' ananova.com An advertising expert has offered to resign after calling female colleagues crap. Neil French was asked why there were so few senior creative directors in advertising agencies. He told his audience in Toronto: "They're crap." Mr French, a creative consultant to WPP advertising and marketing company, has been blasted by female colleagues. Nancy Vonk, a co-chief creative officer at a WPP subsidiary, said: "My head is still spinning because it was so outrageous. "The upshot of what he said is you give women a shot and they run off and have babies. "It wasn't in good humour - it was extremely painful." Mr French said his audience in Toronto had come to be "entertained not lectured to". WPP is studying a transcript of the speech before deciding whether to accept Mr French's resignation.
