The White Stripes Defend Themselves Against the US Miltary

Super Bowl! Geaux Saints! The Who! The White Stripes! "What," you're saying. "The White Stripes weren't at the Super Bowl." Well, if that is what you think, you would be mistaken. Everyone's favorite branch of the US military, the Air Force, used the Super Bowl as marketing opportunity like Coke and Doritos (well, maybe Coke and Doritos are less dangerous).

The ad, which minimizes the fact that being in the Air Force means your job is bombing other people, features some music that is oddly familiar. At least that's what the White Stripes think. They are accusing the Air Force of misusing their song, "Fell in Love With a Girl." So they've ordered the Air Force to stop the airing the ad. The Stripes wrote, "We simply don't want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict."

The ad will no longer be used.

White Stripes--Mission Accomplished!
