Parents' fury after supermarket refuses to decorate birthday cake with their child's name - Adolf Hitler Campbell




Daily Mail:The parents of a three-year-old boy have branded a supermarket 'intolerant' after it refused to decorate their son's birthday cake with his name - Adolf Hitler Campbell. The couple from New Jersey had asked ShopRite staff to decorate their son's cake with his name - which he shares with the Nazi dictator - and were outraged after staff refused to on the grounds that it was 'inappropriate'.

Heath and Deborah Campbell said they were also upset by the outpouring of angry internet postings in response to a local newspaper article about the cake.
It has also emerged that the couple have in the past asked for a swastika decoration.

ShopRite spokeswoman Karen Meleta said: 'We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate and we considered this inappropriate.'

Would a Joseph Stalin cake decoration be deemed inappropriate too ?

However, the child's father Heath Campbell said it was time that people looked forward and accepted 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.

Wife Deborah said she was told over the phone by ShopRite bakery staff that they would not undertake the order.

The Campbells eventually got their wish and had their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart store in Pennsylvania.

Mrs Campbell, who said his ancestors are German, insisted the uproar had come out of nothing and that the couple were not racist.

Mr Campbell said more than a dozen children had attended her son's birthday party including several who were of mixed race.

'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 (), two and eight-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.

The Aryan Nations is a white nationalist neo-Nazi organisation in the U.S. and the name Hinler is very close to the spelling of Himmler, who was the head of the SS under Hitler.

Mr Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked it and because 'no one else in the world would have that name'.

But his views have been questioned after he was seen wearing a pair of black boots which he said were worn by a German soldier during World War II.

Now what the fu*k would they expect? Adolf Hitler ain't actually the most common name

[Lars]

Adolf is a great name but fitting it with Hitler is just retarded. The parents are special alright, and with the mediocre genes they have I bet that their children will be as special as their names. Beyond retarded...

[Jägerstaffel]

Yeah, they had to expect that kind of reaction.

I was apparently under the mistaken belief that "Campbell" is a Scottish surname.

Anyway, I have sympathy for the child, as this only markes the beginning of the lifetime of ridicule he faces as a result of his parents' stupidity.

I listened to them on the radio the other night. They are either putting up a snow job to hide their beliefs, or are just a couple goobers seeking attention using Adolf Hitler as the new, edgier, version of Che.

Yes? She obviously got it from her husband, so we have no way of knowing her maiden name, so what's the problem?

Cretins.

It was the husband who said his ancestors are German; other sites don't make the same typo as this particular source.

Those kids are going to have to fight their way through school with names like that.
