The French Ministry struck a nerve with many a Clevelander after it recently issued a travel warning deeming three Cleveland neighborhoods unsafe.

But none seem to be more upset than Power of 5 Chief Meteorologist Mark Johnson, who's taken to social media to express his outrage.

Last night, his weather report was a snarky two-word update:

Avoid France.

Since then, he's gone on to ban all things French-

Avoid France...and French Fries...and French Toast! Make is American Toast with American Jelly!

No more French braids...French poodles...(Keep the French Kissing, though).
— Mark Johnson (@MarkJWeather) November 14, 2013

No more French Dressing, French Onion Soup, or French Bread! (Keep the French Maids though...)
— Mark Johnson (@MarkJWeather) November 14, 2013

Note to France, don't mess with our suburban neighborhoods and don't mess with our weather guy.
