Pizza Hut is promising “free pizza for life” to whoever dares to ask Barack Obama and Mitt Romney the most burning question of the day: sausage or pepperoni?
The fast food chain is angling to get some publicity out of a town hall debate today between the Democratic president and his Republican challenger at a liberal arts college outside New York.
In a statement, Pizza Hut offered “free pizza for life” — or more to the point, one large pizza a week for 30 years — to whoever pops the question.

“We recognize there are a lot of serious issues to be debated,” said Pizza Hut’s chief management officer Kurt Kane.
“But we also know a lot less serious — but no less important — ones are being discussed every night inside houses across the country.”
To ask “on behalf of the Pizza Party” what their favorite pizza topping is would demonstrate how much each man is “in tune on all the issues.”
Free pizza is among several PR stunts planned in the run-up to the Nov. 6 elections, the USA Today newspaper reported.
Others include free JetBlue flights out of the US for voters whose preferred candidate loses the election, and an eBay auction of Obama and Romney effigies organized by the makers of Cabbage Patch dolls.

只要膽敢把「要點香腸或是義大利辣香腸口味的披薩」當成一天中最重要的議題，向巴拉克‧歐巴馬與米特‧羅姆尼提問，必勝客就保證提供「一輩子免費吃比薩」的好康。
民主黨總統與其共和黨對手今天將在紐約近郊一所文科大學舉行市鎮辯論會，而這家速食連鎖業者看準該辯論會的商機，好從中得到宣傳機會。
在一份聲明稿中，只要有人提出此問題，必勝客將提供「一輩子免費吃比薩」─或是更精確地說，連續三十年，每週可得到一客大比薩。
比勝客行銷長柯特‧肯恩表示：「我們承認，有很多嚴肅議題有待辯論。」
他說：「但我們也知道，全國家庭每晚都在討論許多沒那麼嚴肅，但未必較不重要的問題。」
「代表披薩黨」問兩位候選人各別的披薩口味，可以顯示他們是否對「各項議題都在狀況內」。
《今日美國報》報導，免費比薩是許多公關在十一月六日大選前，所出的幾個宣傳花招之一。
其他還包括捷藍航空提供落敗候選人的選民免費機票，飛離美國。另外還有生產椰菜娃娃的公司，製作歐巴馬與羅姆尼的肖像，在eBay拍賣網站上拍賣。

In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild. What Jane discovered shocked the world. Chimpanzees weren’t mere creatures of instinct; they were individuals with emotions, families, and even the capacity for tool

His left eye was swollen shut. The right one burned red like a coal. “It feels like fire,” the man gasped. “Like something is clawing inside.” Thunder rolled across the mountain. Baosheng leaned closer. The man’s skin was cold, but heat rose from his face. A strange smell hung in the air. He began the four methods of diagnosis: looking, listening/smelling,
