What is the worst kind of product-obsessive?
Anime obsessives are going to be pretty high up. I've actually bumped sci-fi obsessives from my list because these people do the same but so much worse (to the extent that sci-fi types are kind of a romantic ideal nowadays: I saw a man carrying a fullsize replica of K-9 through Victoria station on Saturday and could only smile sweetly at him). 98.2% of all webtraffic on wikipedia is generated by people arguing about editing the page for Naruto.
Music obsessives? It's a bit wide to define. Maybe split it by genre. Proper pop/chart music obsessives are pretty awful.
My vote is for videogame obsessives. Some real mentals here. My favourites are the pseuds. Spotted this guy on a forum a little while ago where he linked to his own site.
