You think that is a sign that the end is near? As if SMU was some kind of holy sacrament...

Nike used the real thing: John, Paul, George and Ringo. Soon after the ad hit the airwaves in mid-March, the band’s record label, Apple Records, sued for $15 million, their lawyer claiming that the band hadn’t given their “authorization or permission.” George Harrison said the spot opened the door for the band’s songs to be used to advertise everything from “women’s underwear” to “sausages.” Yet Yoko Ono – who held shares in the Beatles’ record company – had helped broker the original deal. She thought the spot might introduce a new generation to her late husband’s music. Nike stopped running the ads early in 1988, and the case settled out-of-court the next year on terms that have been kept secret since.Quote

As I recall, Nike did have the permission of the owner of the song's copyright at that time: Michael Jackson!

....but they do have Target and Westfield Shopping malls
When I visited Australia I noticed a Costco on the outskirts of Melbourne and the thing I'm most curious about is, do they sell hot dogs and a drink for $1.50?
