"We're not racists, are we, Adolf Hitler?"

Little Hitler can't have name on cake
December 17, 2008, 3:39 pm

The father of three-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by a US supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance.

Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the nearby ShopRite, but also with an outpouring of angry internet postings in response to a local newspaper article about the cake.

Heath Campbell, who is 35, said in an interview 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.

Deborah Campbell, 25, said she phoned in her order last week to the ShopRite in New Jersey. 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 spokeswoman for ShopRite, said the Campbells had similar requests denied at the same store the last two years and said Heath Campbell previously had asked for a swastika to be included in the decoration.

"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.

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".

On Tuesday he wore a pair of black boots he said were worn by a German soldier during World War II.

Campbell said his ancestors are German and that he has lived all his life in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, which is across the Delaware River from Easton.

Okay, WTF?

Okay, WTF?

Good question.

Well, as a former retail manager who fully understood and used the fact that MY store wasn't public grounds, here's big props to that ShopRite for refusing to do it.

OK, the name doesn't guarantee that the kid will be a racist. Having parents who adore Hitler that much probably does.

Wow, just wow.

People's motivations are strange at times, especially when it comes to naming there kids. I know a fellow by the name of Hitler White. His mom and dad named him that to "redeem" the name of Hitler (why they'd want to I have no idea). Best part is..................he's black. Figure that one out.

There's one kid that's going to get the crap kicked out of him in school. A shame. I only hope he has the sense to change his name when he grows up.

My wife teaches in an inner-city area. She's had a kid named (first name) Davinsky - after the last name of the garbageman on the family's route - and a kid with a name pronounced "she-thed." Spelled, "Shithead."


No, really.

Sometimes I think people should require a license to breed.

Absolutely.

I can't find the news story to back it up, but I seem to remember reading about a pensioner having his pension stopped because he was called Bin Laden - all his accounts were frozen until he could prove he wasn't the same Bin Laden.

"Dammit, I keep telling you people: I'm George Bin Laden!"

No, really.

Reminds of the story of the non-English speaking immigrants who give birth in hospitals and see the word "female" on the birth certificate. They decide to name their kid "Female," pronounced, Fe-mal-e. In this case, just misunderstanding the English language.

Read about a kid who is the son of two Star Wars geeks with the last name "Walker." The parents decided to name the boy "Luke Skye Walker." Damn geeks. Subjected their kid to playground beatings, and lame "Luke, I am your father," jokes for the rest of his life.

" Hey man, can you hand me that stapler?"

" Why don't you just use the force, Luke?"



Yeah, that would suck.

My wife also had a family - American-born - who had a daughter with a name pronounced "no-na-mi." It was spelled, of course, exactly the way that the hospital staff had written it down when the girl was born - "no name."
