Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied

[Drizzle]

Der Führer demands a Fudgie the Whale cake!

 

[Manic]

I hope their son grows up and marries a crippled. Black. Jewish. Dude.

Also, that he becomes a successful artist with little to no interest in politics.

I see what you did thar. History r00lz.

 

[The Squirrel]

Adolph could be let by. But they just had to add Hitler after it.

:facepalm

 

[Brendan]

If their last name is Campbell, why not be cool and name their kid Bruce?

I mean honestly, you name your child Adolf Hitler and expect there to be no controversy over it? Who are you kidding?

 

[Moviefan2k4]

Ya name yer kids Hitler and Arayan Nation you better know how to decorate a cake.

I liked that remark; nice work.

As for the situation itself, this entire thing would be all the more hilarious if it wasn't shrouded in the tragedy of the Holocaust. Who in their right mind would name a child after one of history's most hated warmongers anyway? Hitler was a murderous psycho who believed that Jews and blacks were lower lifeforms, and thus not derserving of basic human rights...why associate your kid with a legacy like that?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Wose name ever.

 

[JLBats]

[This is a humourous story. I very much enjoyed it. It is made all the more humourous by the use of exaggeration when the parents named their other child "Aryan Nation". Carry on]

To be honest guv'na, I don't think his parents give a crap about all that.

 

[M.E.H.Z.E.B]

The same thing would happen if a parent named their kid George W Bush in an Arab country.

LOLZ. Everyone would be throwing their shoes at him and burning effigies.

 

[Lantern Venom]

That would be funny but I think it's more likely that the kid ends up as a deliquent, drug abuser, or in a mental institution. I have no idea why parents would want to ensure ostracism for their child.

 

[Sam Fisher]

And I thought kids today were messed up. I guess the parents are too.

 

[Hotwire]

I'm stumped as to how anyone could assume these parents are racist? Why would naming you children Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation have any racist implications? I don't get it. I mean, it's not like these names are associated with anything remotely racist.

 

[chamber-music]

I love how they claim they are not racist with kids called bloody JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Campbell said his ancestors are German and that he has lived his entire life in Hunterdon County. On Tuesday he wore a pair of black boots he said were worn by a German soldier during World War II.

He wheres Nazi shoes for peacesake!

That fact that his probabley never left his lame little county probaley explains his ignorance.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Ugh. Really? Out of all the names in the baby book and this is what these idiots come up with? Die. Please. Just die.

 

[donk70]

Well, this kid will be changing his name as soon as possible.

Unless he's raised full of hate

 

[Immortalfire]

Little Adolph is probably the Anti Christ.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

^^We'll see in ten-15 years time.

 

[Schlosser85]

Whether he's brainwashed into liking his name or not, that kid is NOT going to have a fun time when he starts school.

"Adolf Hitler, please report to the principal's office"

 

[Erzengel]

You know who also doesn't believe in the Holocaust?

Disney.

Just go to Epcot to the Germany World Showcase.

No mention of WWII or Hitler.

Very sad.

Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied
1 hr 2 mins ago

EASTON, Pa. – The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article over the weekend on their flare-up over frosting.

"I think people need to take their heads out of the cloud they've been in and start focusing on the future and not on the past," Heath Campbell said Tuesday in an interview conducted in Easton, on the other side of the Delaware River from where the family lives in Hunterdon County, N.J.

"There's a new president and he says it's time for a change; well, then it's time for a change," the 35-year-old continued. "They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did."

Deborah Campbell, 25, said she phoned in her order last week to the 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.

A store manager at ShopRite referred questions to a corporate spokeswoman who did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday. But spokeswoman Karen Meleta told The Easton Express-Times for Sunday's editions that the store considered Campbell's request inappropriate.

The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said. About 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children who were of mixed race, according to Heath Campbell.

"If we're so racist, then why would I have them come into my home?" he asked.

The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

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." He sounded surprised by all the controversy the dispute had generated.

Campbell said his ancestors are German and that he has lived his entire life in Hunterdon County. On Tuesday he wore a pair of black boots he said were worn by a German soldier during World War II.

He 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."



Feel sorry for those kids.

For once he's not from the south. Thank God. We got enough racist nuts making us look bad.

I don't think the Third Reich is appropriate for the Small World ride.

His parents chose to name him after Hitler....I mean not just part of the name, but Adolf immediately followed by Hitler. The only reason I could see them doing that is if they either idolize him, or are drama king/queens who wanted something like this to happen.

It's not like the cake company chose not to make the cake because of his skin color, nationality, etc. Plus, excluding racist reasons, they really don't have to serve a customer if they don't want to legally. I could go to Subway right now, and the cashier could refuse to serve me if they wanted. I wouldn't throw a fit and call newspapers however, I'd just go to another sub place.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

At least Hitler can still go to Wal-Mart.
