Heath and Deborah Campbell wanted a birthday cake for their son, but a local supermarket refused their order because of the boy's name: Adolf Hitler!
Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich 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 ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika.
"We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate," Meleta said. "We considered this inappropriate."
Why did they choose that name?
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."
The Campbells' two other children are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, who turns 2 in a few months, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who will be 1 in April.
Campbell 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.

Yeah I'm siding with the Bakery here.
Hitler, Hinler and Aryan Nation...nah, not deliberate at all. Just a name.
Gawd, if I were their kids, I'd be trying to legally change my name ASAP. And get out of the house.
(not me, him)
I hate them.
Even Hitler's own children changed their names.
What I like best is that they'll want their children to be proud of their names someday, and that will just lead to more trouble. For instance, they'll never be able to travel to Europe, unless they enjoy getting hanged from the nearest lightpole.
Not Neat. Horrifying.
haha brilliant.
Nobody puts a kid's full name on a cake, anyway. I'm sure if they went with "Adolph", they'd get away with it.
Kids will either change his name and rebel, or he'll be treated so poorly in life, he'll become as messed up as his parents. Sad.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
If I worked at the bakery, I would have been fired on the spot because after politely telling them to stuff it, as they rightly did, I would have gone off on these people in every language I know.
Damn you Wal-Mart.
There are just some people out there that do not deserve to have children and it sickens me knowing that good decent people can't while the crap of this world can.
...to exterminate people of other races, and not just avoid them, presumably
How I fear for these kids.
Yeah, know one, you know, except for HITLER.
And we all know how New Jersey white supremacists love travelling abroad...
Those ones will be born with a huge handicap : twisted education.
But you kind of have to expect those things if you name your kid Adolf Hitler. There's a reason nobody else in the world has it.
"See, this is one of many reasons we need to require licenses to procreate. "
"It’s parents like these that, frankly, should NOT be parents at all…"
"I might just euthanize the parents."
"Boy. They should both be sterilized."
"Seriously, such people should be banned from having kids. "
"I agree with those who have said that these idiots should have never been allowed to procreate. "
"Mentally retarded people shouldn’t be able to have kids…..
There are just some people out there that do not deserve to have children and it sickens me knowing that good decent people can’t while the crap of this world can."
"Rhea, I say all people need to do a course and get a licence to raise children, and should have needed to for a very long time."

"Son, we were expecting Eva Brown,
not that brown Eva"
"Mentally retarded people shouldn’t be able to have kids….."
I spent 20 years in the navy so very little if anything surprises me. Your comment is extremely troubling. Not to mention totally ignorant. If I had the power I'd make sure YOU never have children. The Nazi's not only murdered millions of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and others. They also killed untold numbers of those they considered to be unfit to live much less have children. People called "mentally retarded". Perhaps you would try and educate yourself before you open your mouth with such filth. Thousands, nay millions of Americans are mentally retarded in some form or other. That does NOT mean they cannot and will not be loving and caring parents that will raise their children to be fine citizens. You madam are a disgrace and disgust me!
"There are just some people out there that do not deserve to have children" I would say your parents were two of them.
"and it sickens me knowing that good decent people can’t while the crap of this world can." It's obvious you are not in the former group but in the latter one.

"also, we all know that stupid ugly people make the most babies in the country. its an unfortunate fact."
Since you are obviously hopelessly stupid I won't waste my time trying to educate you.
Saying he likes it False.
Wasn't this little munchkin on neatorama before?
