More About Advertising extended the coverage, commentary and cultural
cluelessness inspired by WPP CEO Mark Read uttering an
ageist remark. To
recap, when an analyst asked if WPP has the right balance of staffers skilled
in TV and digital, Read replied, “We have a very broad range of skills, and if
you look at our people—the average age of someone who works at WPP is less than
30—they don’t hark back to the 1980s, luckily.” Now Read is taking heat from a
true 1980s classic—Cindy
Gallop—who tweeted, “The reason our industry is ageist as fuck is
because the older white men who run it (and bizarrely don’t seem to think that
#ageism applies to them in any way) fetishize youth.” Gallop should know, as
she has repeatedly expressed
her fetish for fucking dating youthful men.
