The mentality of junior high school and high school boys. Obsessed with sex.

As IT Director for a Fortune 500 company, I attended I don't know how many product presentations. I finally got fed up with sports and sex being used as the "hooks" for the demos.
And, I started telling the product reps when their presentations were either boring or offensive because of the sports or sex focus.

Don't know if it ever did any good but I had the Cisco regional rep pretty concerned at one event. He asked what he could do to make it right and I told him "Tell your company to stop doing this. It's offensive. I want to learn about the technology and this shit gets in the way."
