Ed Anger
Ed Anger is a pseudonymous opinion columnist in the ''Weekly World News'', a former U.S. tabloid, now a web site. In addition to weekly columns, a collected book of his writings, ''Let's Pave the Stupid Rainforests & Give School Teachers Stun Guns: And Other Ways to Save America'' was published in 1996.
== History ==
The identity was created by ''Weekly World News'' writer Rafael "Rafe" Klinger in 1979. Anger's columns were written by the paper's editor Eddie Clontz from approximately 1990 until Clontz's departure in 2001. After Clontz' retirement, other members of the paper's staff continued penning columns under Ed Anger's name. In June 2004, Justin Mitchell outed himself as one of the subsequent writers, stating that he was the fourth man to assume the identity in print.〔Mitchell, Justin. "(An alien ate my brain )", The Asia Times, published June 3, 2004, accessed July 10, 2007.〕 Kathy Shaidle penned the column for the online only version of the ''Weekly World News'' from 2009 to 2010.〔https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathyshaidle〕
Klinger sued the ''Weekly World News'' in 1990, claiming that they had no right to continue publishing columns by Anger after Klinger had departed from the paper. A federal court ultimately ruled against Klinger in 1994, prompting the writer to respond in the style of Anger with the remark, "I'm pig-biting mad."〔Editorial Staff. "(Tabloid can print column )", Editor and Publisher, March 5, 1994, p. 19.〕
In 2002, the ''Weekly World News'' temporarily closed its website, weeklyworldnews.com, leaving only a message from Anger on the front page.〔Miles, Stephanie. "(Weekly World News Tabloid Has Stern Words for Its Readers )", the Wall Street Journal, published February 7, 2002, accessed July 10, 2007.〕 In the missive, Anger threatened that the web content would not reappear until more of the site's readers started buying the printed edition of the tabloid.〔 Kevin Hyson, vice president of the Weekly World News's parent company American Media, subsequently confirmed that the message was a prank designed to broaden the paper's subscriber base.〔 Circulation had declined from 328,000 in 2000 to 275,000 in 2001.〔
