Are You Playing a Bootleg Beatles Rockband?

"The Beatles: Rockband" video game is set for release next week, but pirated copies are turning up already online and elsewhere. Here are signs the game you're playing is a bootleg:
  • Images of Lennon and McCartney are replaced by those of Milli and Vanilli.
  • Instead of original studio recordings, Beatles songs are performed by musical kitties.
  • Guitar controllers are just empty tissue boxes and some rubber bands.
  • The song "Taxman" is 45-minute infomercial from H&R Block.
  • It's just an old Pong game set to a Wings soundtrack.
  • Feelings of Beatlemania are replaced with Legionnaire's Disease.
  • "I Want to Hold Your Hand" is titled "I Want to Hold Your Hamhock."

I'd be OK with a bootleg copy as long as I got some assurance that John and George channeled Yoko at some point during it's making.
