Thanks to media portrayals of Kansas, I now hate The Wizard of Oz.

I was watching the K-State-Colorado game this weekend, and the broadcast relied heavily on The Wizard of Oz for its "about town" footage. I would've preferred footage of Manhattan's Applebees, that's how much I'm sick of the Wiz.

Apparently, we haven't done enough as a state in the nearly 70 years since Oz debuted. Everyone unfamiliar with Kansas thinks we all encounter tornadoes as much as people in Florida deal with hurricanes.

This is bullshit.
