Good names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.

 

This has given rise to a problem, because the ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township has refused to make a cake for young Adolf's birthday.

 

"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.

 

The Campbells turned down the market's offer to make a cake with enough room for them to write their own inscription and can't understand what all of the fuss is about.

"ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," said Deborah Campbell, 25, who is Heath's wife of three years and the mother of the children. "That's sad."

 

Others, such as Anti-Defamation League director Barry Morrison, applauded Shop Rite's decision.

 

"Might as well put a sign around their (the children's) neck that says bigot, racist, hatemonger," said Morrison. "What's the difference?"

I sure hope they don't rip on blacks for having stupid names.

Adolf Hitler is taking names.

Reminds me of the "Jesus Died For This?" cake we had made for a friend's birthday in 2003. The grocery store bakery girl thought it was funny though.

Well, as a business, they certainly have the right to refuse service...but in today's harsh economical climate, some places should probably just take all the customers they can get.

Who puts a 3 year old's full name on a birthday cake? They're just using their children as props to start shit.

No!

 

What? It's perfectly acceptable to name your children those things, but there's clearly no reason to request someone's full name on a birthday cake.

I always woundered if their was any Hitlers left who were too stuborn to change their name.

If Hitler City, North Carolina hadn't changed their name to Charlotte, they'd be sunk.

This will come back to haunt ShopRite.

Hitler Hornets would have had a good ring to it back in the nineties.

Look up Pickaway County Ohio... there was a prominent family there by the name of Hitler, and many things there are named after them. Hitler Road, Hitler Pond, Hitler Park... and so on.

Brutal. I thought there was a law in the States that prevented parents from giving their children ridiculous or inappropriate names? Or is that something that can vary by state?

If my name was Adolf Hitler I would have to insist to use my full name for everything

There was a girl I knew whose last name was Hitler. Blonde hair and blue eyed too.

If this kid's name is fucking Adolf Hitler, a non-personalized birthday cake probably isn't going to be the biggest problem he'll face. Even at age three.

If this kid's name is fucking Adolf Hitler

I think it would only make the story better if the kid's full legal name was Fucking Adolf Hitler.

That occured to me about an hour later. Awesome.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the State of Pennsylvania is going to have to pay for a lot of those problems too.

No, that would be a First Amendment violation. In Germany, you can't name your kid Hitler, and I believe New Zealand has laws against that stuff. In America you can name your kid Bloody Cunt if you want to.

In America you can name your kid Bloody Cunt if you want to.

 

Well that's one to add to my list.

I do feel bad for the kid, because it's one thing to be raised by white supremacists, but it's another thing to have to carry that name

This reminds me of the "Kids in the Hall" sketch where Dave Foley plays an actress who thanks Hitler. That and "Hitler Blanks a Donkey."

We're a commonwealth, actually, not a state.

Does anyone not see that this is clearly a case of reverse racism? Call your kid Adolf Hitler and it takes away from the strength that other countries and people give the name. If anything this child should be heralded as an American hero.
