Little 'Adolf Hitler' Denied Birthday Cake at New Jersey Grocery Store

You know. You really have to wonder ...

I have no words for these people.

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 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 Tuesday that 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.

After ShopRite refused the request for the cake as inappropriate, the Campbells got a cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said.

About 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, according to Heath Campbell.

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."

Gee. I wonder why?

I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the Mom and the Dad.

The funniest part for me is the fact that Walmart was the only one willing to decorate the cake. Nice to know that it will stoop to borderline hate speech just to make a quick buck. I heard somewhere that in previous years they were denied in other places because the parents wanted swastika on the cake, I wonder if Walmart complied in that instance?

Oh good, I thought it was just me. First time I saw the picture I assumed Heath was the mommy.
