creepy celebrity survey

[yanked from [livejournal.com profile] improb]
This site is an apparently legitimate attempt by the University of Leicester to do some studies of attitudes towards celebrity.

I get creeped out by the questions, though, which incorporate about 50 [sic: 50] questions like this:

4. If my favourite celebrity ignored me, then I would not be angry.
5. I would lie and cheat in order to meet my favourite celebrity.
...
9. I don't like my celebrity's romantic partner.
10. My favourite celebrity could never be described as a notorious flirt.
11. It has been suggested that I seek help regarding my feelings towards my favourite celebrity.
...
18. I have never sent presents to my favourite celebrity.
19. I yearn to be my favourite celebrity.
...
37. I often find myself crying about my favourite celebrity because my feelings for him/her are so intense.
38. My favourite celebrity and I are not secretly married.
39. I wish my favourite celebrity was dead.


...yeah.

Is there a place to respond 'I don't have a favourite celebrity and regard the whole concept as dubious?'
