Apparently the Air Force Reserves used a riff similar to "Fell In Love With a Girl" in there super bowl ad.
I've been searching for a video of it to compare, but I have yet to find one since the Air Force took the video down.
If anyone does find the video please post a link here.

Here is the statement from Third Man Records website.

Quote:
We believe our song was re-recorded and used without permission of The White Stripes, our publishers, label or management.

The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserves presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support.

The White Stripes support this nation's military, at home and during times when our country needs and depends on them. We simply don't want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict, and hope for a safe and speedy return home for our troops.

We have not licensed this song to the Air Force Reserves and we plan to take strong action to stop the ad containing this music.

I find it funny that they took the video down because that shows guilt.
So I'm guessing they KNOW what they did, and they did it intentionally.
People should know not to mess with Jack White. Just... no... shouldn't happen.

Didn't that whole spiel with The Von Bondies teach anyone anything?

Ohhh lordie... I remember that. I was just laying on my bed reading the scroll at the bottom of the TV [I was watching E!] and I busted out laughing. I was just thinking "Jack White couldn't hurt anybody!" Then I saw Jason's face... ugh... I felt bad for him, but he deserved it.

I have a hard time feeling bad for pretentious ******** I know is that Jack White kicks a** and nobody uses his songs without permission unless they like having missing teeth.
