Matthew Laidlow’s In Front Magazine Right Now

Every so often, as a reward for not making basic punctuation and grammar mistakes in stories very often, hecklerspray writers are occasionally allowed to go and explore the big bad world for themselves.

Resident hecklerspray trawler Matthew Laidlow did this recently by working at top men’s magazine FRONT for two weeks last month. If you aren’t familiar with FRONT then you need to know that it’s not owned by a faceless corporation, so it can do what it wants, when it wants - giving it the freedom to shit over its competitors at will. So what did Matt do for FRONT? Apart from making round after round of crap tea and failing to blag free beer, he was mainly there to do bits of research for future articles. However, the highlight came when Matt was made to complete FRONT's 'Workie Challenge'.

His task was to simply get a fake tan. Sound like fun? Well, look at it this way - the average person receives two sprays on medium setting, and Matt had six sprays on the highest setting. Two weeks of looking like the hideous radioactive lovechild of Dale Winton and David Dickinson kept everyone laughing. Not just people in the office who found it hilarious - the builders across the road and random strangers frequently pointed and laughed, too. And if seeing semi-naked bright orange hecklerspray writers in print isn't enough to get you investigating FRONT, perhaps its shared dislike of Lee Ryan will convince you - he's taken the prestigious FRONT 'Number One Cunt' title this month.

Issue 111 of FRONT featuring Matthew Laidlow is out now from all good and bad newsagents. For God’s sake, they're even giving away free beer with this issue! What more could you want?
