Joel Burns probably isn't the only person in Fort Worth irritated that The Weather Channel's app shows pictures of Dallas when it delivers forecasts for Cowtown. But the

, whose 2010

went viral, is the only one to merit a bitchy response on Twitter.

Burns fired the first shot this morning, warning his 8,900 followers that he's on the verge of abandoning the app:

Dear @weatherchannel I SWEAR I'm deleting your aggravating app if you don't STOP SHOWING DALLAS pics for Fort Worth pic.twitter.com/Rx36gZoI2K

Rather than ignore Burns or, better yet, address his concerns, The Weather Channel's soon-to-be-former social media rep opted for the cheap shot:

@JoelBurns Sorry to see you go. Good luck on ending bullying.

Burns, who has spent the morning retweeting people making the point that The Weather Channel's reply sure was dickish, also took a moment to challenge the station to donate $100,000 to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide among LGBT youth.
