Stay-At-Home Dads.. Oops I mean Servers. Why should they be at home instead of a REAL job like a REAL Server?
February 5th, 2008 | by Ginnie | (Visited 25,237 times)As a parent, you get used to instructional books that teach children about such things as how babies are made, emotions, and other mature themes in children-safe formats. Bright colors, ambiguous wording, and lots of smiling reassuring people help nail the point down.
With Super Bowl XLII recently passed, we’ve had a chance to see some crazy, random, and funny Super Bowl commercials. A lot of the time we think to ourselves that, if other advertising were as funny or unusual, that we’d welcome it more.
StayAtHomeServers.com does a pretty good job there. They put a fake reporter in an Onion-style parody web video. They make it seem as if they’re attacking stay at home dads. Why would a REAL server be at home when it should be in the office working like other servers?
Here are a few hilarious pictures from the online book aimed at helping children understand why kids may laugh at them for having a stay at home server. As a parent, I own several books that look almost IDENTICAL but cover different ideas. If you’re equally intrigued, check out the site.
Book Link: “Mommy, why is there a server in the House?”
I rarely promote advertising on this site and almost always refuse to do so if it’s Microsoft related. But they did a great job here 
The actor in the video is also pretty good for a web clip.

Jajaja, que buena; I´m sorry, I´m spanish
very good images
I just love Microsoft’s campaign! It’s refreshing to see a company like Microsoft take risks and try out something like this, a parody video series to promote a new product!
I’m very tech-savvy, which means I NEVER click on an advertising banner, but when I saw the word Microsoft on a flash banner that looked like a kid’s book, I got very curious (first achievement of the marketing campaign), and the website was just so funny I couldn’t believe it! I have to admit I even thought about getting one of those servers (second achievement of the campaign)!
Keep the good work Microsoft, please get as funny and agile as your marketing!
Haha, ain’t that the truth. If only their software was as solid as their marketing =P
