I Read an Insufferable 6,400-Word Profile Piece on Meghan Markle

Yes, I really read aloud the entire 6,400-word article. As we meet at the crossroads of wry sarcasm and insufferable celebrity worship cringe, we will ask: on which of these two paths is this piece? What were these people paid $125M for? And why do they want to believe they're suffering so badly?

I was left basically speechless, so this is a bit of a one-off with no commentary.

To Allison P. Davis: please take no offense at this video/attempt at humor; I enjoyed reading your article and found it to be an interesting window into Meghan Markle :)

To my three viewers: please appreciate the writer and don't be hating.
