"The hard truth is that getting this deficit under control is going to
require some broad sacrifice, and that sacrifice must be shared by the
employees of the federal government," Obama said.

总之，美国SUPER BOWL比赛中的电视广告非常有效，非常重要。自然的，这个比赛期间的广告价格也非常的贵。SUPER BOWL比赛期间的电视广告一般为30秒，而这短短30秒的价格是三百万美金！比赛分为四节，每节之间当然都是广告时间，另外开... 阅读全帖 |
