Young Adolf Hitler Campbell can’t get any love from the local ShopRite. They rejected creating a cake with his name on it, for understandable reasons.
A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell’s name on his birthday cake. Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich ShopRite. When she told the bakery department she wanted her son’s name spelled out, she was told to talk to a supervisor, who denied the request.Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika. “We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate,” Meleta said. “We considered this inappropriate.”
The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said Tuesday.
But of course. Rest assured, they’re not white supremacists, though!
Heath 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.”
Oh, well, if that’s the reason…
The Campbells’ two other children are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, who turns 2 in a few months, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who will be 1 in April.
Yeah. Between the request for a swastika and the names of the other children, I’m going to call bull on the whole “originality” excuse.
Campbell said he was raised not to avoid people of other races but not to mix with them socially or romantically. But he said he would try to raise his children differently. “Say he grows up and hangs out with black people. That’s fine, I don’t really care,” he said. “That’s his choice.” He said about 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children of mixed race.
Sure, “mixed race”. As on commenter at Outside the Beltway quips, there were Danes, Swedes, French, etc..

What if they softened it by adding the middle name of Lucifer?

It is not childs’ fault that his parents are condeming him and his siblings to a life harder than need be. Regardless of thier beliefs this is a cruel world and under the circumstance justifiable. It is very obvious that they did not have the forsight into the nature of people in general and the hardship and ridicule that they have brought upon thier son. He will be austrasized by people in general due to the stupidity of his parents. While he little make him his birthday cake and let him enjoy it. Unfortunately, it’ll be downhill from here.
