This is a good hobby if like me you have an unhealthy interest in a minor TV celebrity and like sharing your obsession with like-minded strangers via the medium of the Internet.

Minor TV celebrity Sue Perkins.

What you will need for this hobby:

A computer and Internet access,
The ability to create your own website,
An unhealthy obsession with a minor TV celebrity,
And a complete lack of even the most basic social skills.

First of all ensure you have a complete lack of even the most basic social skills. To do this just examine your life, do you have less than 3 friends, and do they secretly mock you behind your back? Do you spend the majority of your time alone at a computer? Have you ever used a 'phone sex' service? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you can continue with this hobby. If you have answered no to any of the above questions then you must stop this hobby now or I will be forced to hunt you down and tattoo your face with these words; I fraudulently tried to do a hobby described on the IAPWOS website and now must spend the rest of my life in public shame.

Once you have confirmed your lack of social skills, the next thing to do is develop an unhealthy interest in a minor TV celebrity. The criteria for minor TV celebrity status are strict and are detailed below:

The minor celebrity must only appear on a minority TV channel, and preferably appear late at night, or early in the morning.
The minor celebrity must not be the 'star' of the TV show.
The minor celebrity must not regularly appear on 2 or more shows broadcast in the same week.
The minor celebrity must actually be talented in what they are doing (acting, presenting etc).
The minor celebrity must be unknown by the majority of the general public.

Examples of minor TV celebrities are Aleks Krotoski from Channel 4's Thumb Bandits and Leslie Grossman from the failed Warner Bros teen 'dramedy' Popular. An example of an ex-minor TV celebrity is Phillipa Forrester, for a long time she was the epitome of minor TV celebrity status, but she forfeited that title as soon as she presented BBC1's flagship science programme Tomorrow's World. Any attempt to carry out this hobby using such an ex-minor TV celebrity will result in swift and severe punishment.

The next thing to do is to gather as much information as you can about this minor celebrity, the internet is obviously the fist place to start, but as it is a minor celebrity we are dealing with, information may be scarce. Try finding out where the minor celebrity lives by using the 192.com website and following them for a few weeks taking pictures, why not wait until your minor celebrity is out of their house or asleep & go through their bins to discover more about them. For any good minor TV celebrity shrine you will need a 'video capture card' for your computer so you can take pictures of your minor TV celebrity directly from the TV show in which they appear. For your shrine to be taken seriously, you will at one point have to meet the minor TV celebrity in real life in order to get a photograph taken of you next to the minor celebrity, you will get extra credit if in the photo, the minor TV celebrity is looking at you with a confused or bewildered expression. It is a good idea not to tell the minor celebrity that you have previously been staking them & going through their rubbish, information like this often tends to scare the minor TV celebrity and they may get the police involved.

Once you have gathered all the information you can about the minor TV celebrity, it is time to create your online shrine. For this you will need a computer with internet access & the ability to create your own website. Fortunately as you do not have any social skills you will almost certainly have these 2 things.

Once your website is finished and uploaded to the Internet you now need to encourage people to visit it. You can do this my one of 2 ways, you can either got to the offiacial website of the programme your minor TV celebrity is in and mention your website in this site's chatroom. Or alternateivly you could submit your site to be listed in a search engine and assosiate it with phrases that will entice like minded people to your site, for example (insert the name of your minor TV celebrity here) nude or (insert the name of your minor TV celebrity here) Hardcore XXXX pics. Then simply sit back & wait for strangers who have equally unhealthy obsessions with the same minor TV celebrity as you to flock to your shrine.
