intend to take 'strong action' against the US Air Force following an advert used during Sunday's Super Bowl.
The ad, according to the duo, uses a version of their 2002 single 'Fell In Love With A Girl'. Via a message on their webiste, Jack and Meg state the track was 're-recorded and used without permission'.
'The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support,' they said.
