This is wild …
“Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?” is a children’s book dedicated to “Helping Your Child Understand the Stay-At-Home Server.” At first we snarked at this over-the-top marketing propaganda. But then it made us crap our pants with laughter.
You can see the entire book here.



Some of the smartest advertising from MS I’ve seen in a while. I think there’s a shared understanding of the insidiousness of childrens books with corporate agendas that everyone (including the cynics) can relate to and enjoy.
