Desperate: Rihanna To Sell ‘Unapologetic’ Deluxe Set For $250

Published: Monday 29th Oct 2012 by Sam

Let’s play a game. A role-play, if you will.

You’re a successful model, who’s made much of your fortune parading as a “singer”. And, yet for all your “achievements”, a number of things elude you – the most notable being album sales.

Indeed, for all your surface success, you still struggle to shift units that truly reflect your “status”.

Keen to prove your worth on your 7th try, what do you do to solve your problem? If your name is Rihanna, “bizarre” is the only word to describe your answer.

Details below…

Notorious for her inability to sell $10.00 albums, the Bajan star has conjured up a deluxe “platinum” package of her new LP ‘Unapologetic’, which retails at a recession-friendly price of…

$250

Hilarious, given that her albums take triple the time and marketing spend of other artists to even sell Platinum. Nonetheless, it begs the question of just what exactly fans will get for their coins in this ultra special edition. Well, wonder no more.

According to Rih’s official online store, for 25x the price of the ‘Unapologetic’ CD, you receive…

* A Rihanna Unapologetic 2GB Credit Card style USB Flash Memory Drive with plentiful room for high-definition photos, graphic-intensive documents, videos, spreadsheets, presentations, term papers and music that can be stored and retrieved in a flash.

* A unisex shirt featuring a stunning Michael Muller photo of Rihanna taken during her Unapologetic album photo shoots spanning several weeks. Printed on a black 100% soft cotton shirt.

 * 7 Art print 12 x15 lithographs featuring Michael Muller photography, a Magnus Voll Mathiassen illustration and exclusive never-before released Rihanna Unapologeticimages, bound together with her iconic handwritten R logo band.

3 Device Adhesives featuring Rihanna’s Unapologeticcover, logo and image, compatible with iPhone, Blackberry and all other smart phone devices.

 * 7 Laptop stickers featuring artwork by Mario Hugo,Unapologetic album and “Diamonds” single artwork, and other Rihanna surprises.

* 11×17 Rihanna handwritten personal note to her Navy 

* A collectible colored vinyl featuring Diamonds Remixes.

* A 40-page custom Rihanna Notebook with handwritten notes and lyrics. * Unapologetic Deluxe CD version with a 28-page photo and art booklet featuring Michael Muller and Melissa T. Forde photography and a 20 minute DVD featuring never-before-released footage, a First Look from Rihanna’s sold-out Loud Tour performance Live from London’s O2 arena. * Exclusive Fan Mosaic poster featuring members of Rihanna’s Navy and a breathtaking Unapologetic image.
***********
Ploughing through the BS, the list basically translates as: the album + a bunch of stickers and fridge magnets. Sad, as for that price, we’d expect ol’ Ri to perform a concert in our front room too (ear-plugs included).

Will you be buying?
