Ballmer Household is iPod, Google, and Love Free

Look, we already knew Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was crazy. So let’s not pretend his latest revelations are exactly shocking. According to an interview with CNNMoney, Stevie B. has said that his kids neither use Google nor have iPods.

These are the kids of the CEO of the richest software company in the world. You’re telling me that they’re not hanging out with the rest of their buddies behind the Apple Store after school? One can only imagine the scene that ensues when Mrs. Ballmer catches sight of a telltale pair of white earbuds in her teenage son’s backpack and tearfully presents them to her husband. “It’s Steve Jr…he’s been shuffling.” Let’s not even get started on the illict Google bookmarks on his daughter’s Dell laptop.

Remember, dear readers, branding starts at home. And nothing says “loving” like enforced behavior and social isolation. No, wait, sorry, nothing says petty like enforced behavior and social isolation.
