Why Amarillo, Texas might be annoying:

    The city has a large cattle population.
    The city gained national attention in 1998, when local cattlemen from the area sued talk show diva Oprah Winfrey for comments linking mad cow disease to American beef.
    As a result, she had to tape her talk show in the city while her trial was in progress.
    The climate can be extremely hot in the summer and frigid cold in the winter.
    It is also the third windiest city in the United States.
    The city is located on the southern edge of the infamous 'Tornado Alley.'
    The city was hit hard by the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.

Why Amarillo, Texas might not be annoying:

    Fortunately for Winfrey, the lawsuit was dropped and settled out of court.
    It is referenced in the song '(Get Your Kicks) on Route 66.'
    It is the place where Winfrey met friend and future talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw.
    Scenes from the 1989 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' were filmed here.
