Edward Snowden's teenage life as an anime nerd
> Not much is known about Edward Snowden, the man who exposed the NSA's Internet surveillance program, PRISM. But on Wednesday, the former Booz Allen Hamilton employee and CIA contractor's former life as an employee of a Japanese anime company was uncovered.
>In 2002, the then-18-year-old Snowden worked as web editor for Ryuhana Press, a startup company that sold anime art. In his profile for the company, he notes that he's a fan of Japanese culture, martial arts, guns, girls, and his "girlish figure that attracts girls."
>He also talks extensively about his trip to Otakon, an annual fan convention held in Baltimore, Md.
>"I had a blast at Otakon, after rubbing anti-inflammatory on my bottom to remove the swelling the prices for admission and parking gave me," he jokes.
