Shame on you George. Nobody likes to born with allergies. If you find this such an inconvenient to your life style then you need to open your eyes and study about it before you open your mouth

I feel very upset by George López insensitive comments. Our daughter is a Latina and suffers from life-threatening multiple food allergies including peanuts and tree nuts. We struggle every day to keep our daughter at school and during flights, etc. We’ve come a long way in raising food allergy awareness, so to have a celebrity like George López completely disregard the efforts of everyone affected by food allergies and make fun of anaphylaxis is very upsetting. He even made a comment about threatening others with nuts in place of a gun. There was a child that recently died at school because other kids placed peanut butter in his sandwich. This is not a laughing matter. I feel very upset and I am grateful for this petition.

George Lopez showed that he didn't care about the impact his apathy had on children ∧ adults with life threatening allergies. It's inexcusable to say the least. He had lost a fan over this and I'm sure many others feel the same way.

Unbelievably shocking and horrible. My son SAW this. I had to tell him you’re just ignorant and don’t know better. Please learn.

Not one child asked for severe food allergies. George should be horribly ashamed of himself

Would he tell a kid in a wheelchair how great it is to be able to run? Just like I wouldn't make a joke how great it is to have my own 2 kidneys. That should hit closer to home.

This is awful. Does he make fun of other children who have life threatening medical conditions? No child asks to have an allergy. Many children are excluded and bullied because of their allergies. Threatening to kill children in school with life threatening food allergies is appalling.

I just happened upon a George Lopez stand up comedy show on HBO, and heard his long string of jokes about peanut allergies/people with peanut allergies. I was shocked and disappointed that he would joke about life-threatening allergies, and that the audience would laugh along with him.

Bullying of a person with a life threatening allergy should NEVER be ok!
Having a life threatening allergy is not a choice. Educate yourself!

My daughters have numerous life threatening allergies, nuts included. this is disgusting. Unfortunately he is not the only ignoramus to do such a thing. Jimmy Fallon did a skit with Will Arett making fun of nut allergies a few months back. It was horrific. Have they ever seen their child turn blue???

My son is deathly allergic, he doesn't even have to eat it, smell and touch has sent him into anaphylaxis. I was told my boy wasn't going to make it, he was dying in my arms from a dam nut. Oh, by the way we are Latino and my son is a Lopez, so it does happen to Hispanics Mr. Lopez!!!! Educate yourself, how would you like to hold your dying child, I hate allergies too, we did not chose this club, it chose us and we can't get out of it!!! The person in coach may just have paid to see you at one time which put you in first class, don't forget where you came from..... I'm done with you.

As if we don't have enough to worry about. Now this B celebrity thinks it's ok to make fun and put down a very serious health issue. He needs to make a very sincere and public apology!!!
