Rubberbandits declare war on X Factor for Christmas No 1

MAKING plastic bags more “must-have” than any designer handbag, Limerick’s newest bad lads are guaranteed to offend indiscriminately, shock randomly and secure No 1 in the Christmas singles chart.

The Rubberbandits, a duo of pretend degenerates whose skill at sending up their own native city is so convincing politicians and members of the public took to the airwaves yesterday alternatively to lambaste and praise their YouTube hit, Horse Outside.

Foulmouthed, foulminded, and fashionably whackerish, Blindboy Boatclub and Mr Chrome posed outside Leinster House yesterday to address the nation “on the current state of your aul wan’s face” and also to announce their war on X Factor, pitching Horse Outside as a viable Christmas No 1 alternative to Matt Cardle’s cover of When We Collide.
