Hecklerswag: The Devo Suit
Then buzz it up
November 7th, 2007 at 15:00 by 586 MEDIA
Hecklerswag is an intermittent feature where we succumb to our inherent whorishness and briefly plug companies who send us stuff for free simply because they sent it to us…
The last time we went to the fancy dress, we did the lazy thing and went as James Bond. A pathetic sight, and an especially poor effort - not even a bow tie or replica PPK for company, much less a hot Bond Girl. We had Made No Effort.
By the time we arrived for the fancy dress shenanigans we were in a hell of a mess. A little bit of sick had come up. Tuxedos and sick, you see, are a far from classic combination. What we needed was something wipe-clean, like a bin liner, but with some kind of weird and menacingly distinctive fancy dress theme. That would prove that we had Made An Effort.
That's right, reader, we needed a DEVO SUIT.
Look at the picture. How cool is that? And it's a hands-down conversation starter, which is a pity given our general loathing for partypeople who attend fancy dress parties. The point is, you can buy it. It costs a mere $60 for you to look like one of Devo.
Naturally we've been saving up since July.
People of the world, we urge you to purchase the DEVO SUIT. The world would be a better place if everybody looked like this. We could form a club. Or stay in and wear it around the house. Annoy your flatmates. Watch that iron. Perfect for cyclists. Oil is no match for the DEVO SUIT, and it most likely prevents death and other illnesses too. Good for anybody near a log flume. Or on a bus. Or for doing uranium analysis and other boffin activities. Sick-resistant. Possibly not flame resistant.
The DEVO SUIT comes from the good people of 80stees.com, who also do groovy 80s retro Pac Man T-shirts and a supergeeky Oregon Trail T-shirt ('YOU HAVE DIED OF DYSENTERY' ).
Companies - want to be the next Hecklerswag subject? We're easily bought! Send us stuff for free and we promise to think about it. Email hello[AT]hecklerspray.com for more details.

Who is David?

Hi Adam. I’m David. I’m old school and am here to rock your world : )

Thank you, Adam. My curiosity was piqued as well.
Also, I fully expect photos of all members of the hecklerspray staff in the DEVO SUIT on either myspace or facebook or both post haste.
I’m a bit comment happy today, aren’t I?

I’m not so sure, so called “David”… Why don’t you have a second/surname?
Thirdly, no one from HS has ever rocked my world.
Yours in denial

NO! I’m the real David.
That other one was a cheap imposter!

I haven’t officially started here yet, so diplomatically I’m lying low. I’ll say hello properly when my feet are on the desk.
I love the DEVO SUIT but there is some talk here that lab coats might work better as a Hecklerspray uniform. We are all doctors, after all.
JBollocks, one day we hope to rock you to the point where a little bit of turd comes out. The noisy sound of brown, baby.

ick.
Wit and shit are different things, David.
We generally applaud the former, or
the latter in service of the former, but not
the latter as a gratuitous effort to be
‘outrageous’ [read: boring].
We thank you in advance for your kind attention
to these fecal matters.

Why do I get the feeling that some unnamed hecklerspray writers like to lark about with alter egos, commenting on articles and faking identities, even doing some auto-heckling?
