Hitler cake denied.

[R13]

I honestly can't believe this guy gave his children these names, probably to cause trouble or be the outcast. Its a shame that these kids will grow up and more than likely be picked on, called names, shunned by all the other kids and so on.



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.

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." 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."

That guy is stupid. I hope his kids put him in the the worst nursing home ever when they're older

They should have put the kids name on the cake. Its not the kids fault. Im sure the same folks that wouldn't put it on there also preach tolerance.

Sounds like the parents teach alot of tolerence as well naming their kids "Adolf Hitler" and "Aryan Nation"

"Adolph Hitler" AND a swastika. If I was asked to do that on a cake I'd deny it too.

The parents werent the ones refusing to do something for a child because of its name. I wasnt taking up for the parents either. Just kinda sad to refuse a kids name on a cake because his parents. The kids name is different lets exclude him. That pretty sad IMHO.

And we elected a prestient with what for a middle name? He was the latest Hitler. People still voted for Obama. We have some funny standards here in the states ,don't we.
