NEWS - Air Force Super Bowl Ad & The White Stripes Music

The US Air Force ad is after the dog food ad, at :10.


Recently the National Post posted an article about the White Stripes claiming the US Air Force used a likeness to their song "Fell in Love with a Girl" for an ad that was to run during the Super Bowl. http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/theampersand/archive/2010/02/09/white-stripes-upset-over-us-air-force-reserve-ad.aspx

The National Post then posted an article about The White Stripes controversy with the US Air Force and the music composer's apology for any likeness to their song.
