Who was Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf?
Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf was an American entertainer. Hank appeared numerous times on the The Howard Stern Show and on the televised studio segments which aired on the E! channel.

Hank received widespread media coverage in 1998 when he won a People Magazine online poll asking the public to vote for the most beautiful person in the world as part of the run up promotion for the magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" issue. When the public was given the option to submit a write-in candidate, the magazine had not counted on 230,169 votes for Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf — beating out assorted celebrities by a wide margin. In third place was Leonardo DiCaprio with 14,471 votes. In the relatively still early years of public participation on the Internet, various media critics picked up on this, wondering whether this was evidence of an emerging digital democracy.
