 Despite their extremism, Anger's columns were one of the more mainstream elements of the "WWN" during Clontz's editorship and found a loyal audience.Anger often begins his columns "I'm madder than...", followed by such phrases as "a monkey with a rotten banana" or "a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest".These introductions were later lampooned by "John Boy and Billy" with their "Mad Max" character, who like Anger, is portrayed as an "angry right-winger", and the opening phrase is remarkably similar to that of another fictional character, radio commentator Earl Pitts.
