The White Stripes None Too Pleased with Air Force Super Bowl Spot

An Air Force Reserve Super Bowl spot called “Grab Some Air” has riled Jack and Meg White for including a re-recorded version of their hit “I Fell in Love with a Girl” without actually asking the band’s permission. The White Stripes took to their website to let it be known just how they feel about the ad, which doesn’t appear to be up on the Air Force Reserve site; instead there are just wallpapers/screensaver downloads at this point. Maybe the Stripes’ pretty clear-cut message below did the trick.

Update: Rolling Stone reports that the video and page housing it have both been pulled from the Air Force Reserve site.
