“Opulence? I has it.” So does Grey NY and DirecTV
Posted on July 27, 2010 and read 1,163 times

Nowadays, you can add “wanna-say-Russian-but-really-any-Slavic-group-will-do ‘businessman’ ” to that list of billionaires. But as this spot for DirecTV by Grey New York suggests, they all have a common trait: they like to save money where they can.
After all, who knows how much it costs to feed a miniature giraffe?
