Rhydian: News

Showbiz Spy has a good feature on Rhydian and his recent interview on Real Radio Wales. In the interview he tells about his current location in an Oxfordshire cottage, hiding from the press. He states that although very shocked when the results on Saturday were announced, he feels it may work out for the best. And he thanked his fans, "I just want to say thanks so much to any body who have believed in me, supported me or picked up the phone and voted. I said on the show, and Dermot said ‘it’s not that expensive’, but it is expensive to vote and I appreciate that."

In recent posts I have bemoaned the lack of X Factor product available on EBay. Of course Rhydian has had clocks, mugs, T shirts, photos, car number plates and my favourite the wipe clean laminated bookmark available for weeks. The others however have had nothing until recent times. There is now a slew of tat devoted to that tuneless tyke, West Lothian lothario Leon. Highlights are a Leon Crosstitch pattern. That's right you can reproduce Leon's face using needle and thread. A seller who knows their market there!

More great things to buy your loved ones for Christmas. How about a Futureproof website? That's right you could purchase and give them the domain name for the most inappropriately named band in music history : futureproofboys.com. Available here on Ebay for £20. The price seemed a little steep to me so I emailed the buyer asking if he would reduce it to 50p. I received this reply, "The price is an extremely fair valuation considering it cost £10 to register and that it's an extremely popular domain based on visits and Google ranking. I find your question an insult!"

Rhydian: Everyone is Product

A couple of great new Rhydian related items from the sharks on E-Bay. You can find a rather nice Rhydian mug here...with a picture of him in his glitter suit. But the best recent Rhyd item reaches new levels of seller's desperation. Ladiessss and Gentlemen..It'sssss The Rhyd_doll. Well not exactly, this is just a battered old anatomically almost correct male doll with sticky up white hair. The seller describes the item as follows, "CUTE BABY BOY DOLL... TAKES BATTERIES BUT THE OLD ONES LEAKED AND CANT GET HIM TO DO ANYTHING WITH NEW ONES.
HIS RIGHT ARM IS BROKEN AND NEEDS REPAIR. THINK HE IS SUPPOSED TO MOVE,DRINK,PEE AND MAKE SOUNDS!? "PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW LOVING HOME"
WE HAVE CALLED HIM RHYDIAN!
It's only 99p but bidding finishes in 24 hours - get moving!

Rhydian:X Factor Merchandising ...gone mad

The Rhydian Factor has already highlighted some of the great Rhydian based products available on EBay. We've featured the Rhydian Clock, Keyring, Car number plate(RHYD1AN) and best of all the fast selling Rhydian laminated book mark (with a handy easy-wipe-clean surface for any spills). And we have searched fruitlessly for merchandise based on the other X Factor contestants...until now.

Ladiessss and Gentlemen It'ssssss.....the Same Difference Pooper Scooper. This item only came to light after extensive searches, i.e. typing "Same Difference s**t" into Google. It is surely the product that every Same Difference fan (who is also a dog lover) wants in their Xmas stocking this year. As the description so eloquently says, "ARE YOU a scatological Same Difference obsessive AND a dog owner? …then we have the perfect product for you. This is a unique chance to buy a Same Difference Pooper Scooper. NOW dog owners can support Same Difference every time they clear up after their canine pal. The picture is fully laminated so that any dirt is easily cleaned off with running water and without damaging the picture beneath." Marvellous!
