A- wipes named their baby Adolf Hitler — Brooklynian

A- wipes named their baby Adolf Hitler

F ing Pennsyltucky. I cannot believe this. It makes me sick. Sicker than Mougar.

Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied
Wed Dec 17, 7:30 am ET AP – Heath Campbell, left, with his wife Deborah and son Adolf Hitler, 3, pose in Easton, Pa.,, Tuesday, Dec. … 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."

  • dude. little adolph doesn't have it half as bad as baby JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.

    figures that walmart stepped in with the cake.
  • Seriously. What a-hole is the third kid named after?
  • Oh shit.

    "Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbel was named after Heinrich Luitpold Himmler a Nazi German politician who was the leader of the Schutzstaffel also called SS under Adolf Hitler.
    Heinrich Luitpold Himmler played a great part in the Holocaust constantly pushing for the breed a master race of Nordic Aryans."
  • This is a joke right? crazy
  • I know it seems like it should be an ironic Onion article, but no. It's real.
  • I'm naming my kind Sinn Fein.
  • I mentioned the Hitler name to my oldest son Benito Muussolini, who thought it was funny.

    Not real, but good for a laugh. Most of em seem like a combo of Nazi and Palin names.
  • ok, all fun and games and hideousness. but...

    what's the difference between finding it morally reprehensible to have to write this on a cake, as opposed to the clerk at the pharmacy not wanting give you contraception because he/she thinks it's morally wrong

    i think these people are wretched, but it needs to go both ways
  • yeah I hate it when my pharmacist refuses to give me my antipsychotics
  • He sounded surprised by all the controversy the dispute had generated.
    Okay...Heath Campbell is obviously deft at making hyperbolic statements.

    I completely understand your point. But Trojan didn't try to exterminate entire races of people.
  • Yes, and let's not forget that children have been sent home from school for dressing like Hitler at Halloween, but the little girls dressed like hookers were allowed.

    rtrain, butsome people (and i am NOT one of them) believe that birth control and morning afterpillsand abortions are, in fact, extermination.

    This is true. It all as with anything boils down to ones personal stance on things. Be it the pharmacists choice to not distribute certain products (which really isn't such a big deal, go to another pharmacy or go when there's a different pharmacist) or the Shop Rite employee refusing to decorate that name on a cake. Which is more right or wrong than another depends on who you're talking to. Taking the neutral stance towards what they are refusing to do, you are completely right.

    I kinda wish I could use that for having to do work for some clients who I think make music that is destroying the ears of millions :)
  • true, but then they shouldn't work at pharmacies!

    Hey that's good money though!
  • I know - I cannot believe pharmacists make so much money. Had a friend still in college making mid 90s.
  • rtrain, in some parts of the country there is one drugs store, the one at target for 300 miles.

    regardless, you know i'm only playing devil's advocate. sorta.
  • okay, i see the difference as refusing medical care versus refusing a certain shape of frosting. it's harder for me to get worked up about the frosting.

    Believe me I know, I been all over. Was just a possible solution to selective pharmaceutical woes for some. Not everything works for everyone. Regardless, I'm agreein' with ya :wink:
  • What a loser. Hopefully the kids will grow to hate him and will not be brainwashed the same way he was.

    Hey, don't blame Pennsyltucky for this one. There are rednecks everywhere (bolding mine).

  • Along a similar "offensive words" line - the DMV can refuse a vanity plate if the word(s) requested is something they deem offensive.

    In case you missed this story in August - "U.S. Funded Health Search Engine Blocks 'Abortion'"
