[kj] OT Jet Boy jet Girl Pepsi Ad

[Christof hamille]

The Fall song is a newer one.  Thus I would think he has more control 
nowadays then some of his older material.  Grant it there areplenty of cases 
of ad agencies using material without proper permission (Minor Threat, the 
Beatles, etc. etc) but usually the ads get yanked pretty quick.  And the 
Fall ad has been floating around here for a while now
