Supermarket refuses Adolf Hitler cake request
The father of three-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell called for more tolerance after a New Jersey supermarket refused to produce a birthday cake with the child’s full name written on it.
Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the ShopRite store, but also with angry internet postings in response to a newspaper article about the cake.
Heath Campbell, 35, said people should look forward, not back, and accept change.
“They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did,” he said.
After ShopRite refused the request for the cake as inappropriate, the Campbells got a cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Mrs Campbell said.
About 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, according to Mr Campbell.
Mr Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because “no one else in the world would have that name.”
He said his ancestors were German and that he had lived all his life in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
The Campbells’ other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns two in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be one in April.
Mr Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because “no one else in the world would have that name.”
It amazes me that there are still people like this in the world.
It astounds me that such people are allowed to breath (No typo here my friend - although stopping them breeding would be a good start).
It befuddles me that (presumably) a desk jockey for the state processed a birth cert bearing the proposed name for the child.
Hurrah for ShopRite though!

I'm just trying to figure out how calling your kid Hitler is not looking back. The mind boggles that there are people like that out there.
