The strange world of celebrity height obsessives

There's a much-ballyhooed law of the internet that if something exists, there is pornography inspired by it. That no matter what weird or seemingly banal thing you can think of, somebody out there is getting their jollies to it. But that concept has a (presumably) cleaner doppelganger: that no matter how cripplingly boring a subject may seem, thousands are furiously talking about it in the depths of the web.

Founded in 2004, Celeb Heights is the brainchild of a cheery Glaswegian named Rob Paul, who writes on the site that he has been a tenacious chronicler of celebrity heights since the age of 14, when he unexpectedly stopped growing. He stands (officially, with pictures and everything) at 5' 8.75", and has posted videos on YouTube instructing the best ways to pose with celebrities to prove their respective heights.
