Adolf Hitler toddler denied birthday cake

13:00 AEST Wed Dec 17 20082 hours 25 minutes ago

A US supermarket has refused to inscribe a birthday cake for a toddler named Adolf Hitler.

New Jersey couple Heath and Deborah Campbell wanted to mark their son Adolf Hitler Campbell's third birthday with a cake from supermarket chain ShopRite.

But the store refused to inscribe the toddler's cake for the family, who are Holocaust deniers and have swastikas in every room of their house.

"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," Lehigh Valley Live News reported a ShopRite spokesperson as saying.

But Adolf's parents have described the supermarket's denial as "sad".

"Other kids get their cake. I get a hard time," Heath Campbell, 35, said. "It's not fair to my children." The chain offered to leave the cake blank for the Campbells to decorate themselves, but the family rejected the offer.

Their two younger daughters also appear likely to cause similar problems down the track.

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who is named after notorious Schutzstaffel head Heinrich Himmler, will turn two and one early next year.

ShopRite has already stated they will not make a cake for JoyceLynn.

Fellow supermarket chain Wal-Mart now appears set to create Adolf's cake.

"Our No. 1 priority in decorating cakes is to serve the customer to the best of our ability," a Wal-Mart spokesperson said.

The Campbells, who are both unemployed due to alleged disabilities, deny they are damaging their children or setting them up for harassment at school.

"They say, 'He (Hitler) killed all those people' ... I say, 'You're living in the wrong decade. That Hitler's gone'," Mr Campbell said.

"Yeah, they [Nazis] were bad people back then but my kids are little — they're not going to grow up like that.

"Other kids get their cake, I get a hard time."

Disgraceful discrimination. The poor child just wants to see their name lit up in icing. What is the world coming to I ask you? What is it coming to?!?!?!

Serves them right. What kind of dickheads call their kid Adolf Hitler. They shouldn't be allowed have kids.

spinandscribble · 17-12-2008 07:37AM

so they admit hitler and the nazis were bad but named their kids after them...?

jane86 · 17-12-2008 07:40AM

The parents must have mental disabilities or are extremely attention seeking.

burgess1 · 17-12-2008 07:40AM

Poor kids

The law is a far less important thing to break than the minds of innocent Children. This is not healthy for the children and only a fraction of the "discrimination" they are likely to face in their lives.

Lockstep · 17-12-2008 08:06AM

Id be far more worried about the Aryan Nations kid.

KTRIC · 17-12-2008 08:12AM

Well a guy I went to school with was called Osama Adolf-Sadam O'Shaughnessy, his mother had great fun calling him in for dinner.

Can you argue both points of the story? Meh, gonna do it anyway :P

Other kids get their cake. I get a hard time," Heath Campbell, 35, said. "It's not fair to my children."

Should have thought about that before naming your kids after the the most hated leaders in modern history. Really... Adolf is bad enough, but hitler as his middle name? That kid is doomed.

On the other hand, descriminating against someone because of their name is just sooo backwards. I wounder would the parents have any case against the shop, would the shop have to print that name on the cake if it went to court???

Have you ever watched Jerry Springer , unless all the "guests" are out of central casting , there is an underbelly of seriously imbred or "retarded" Americans presumably mostly living in trailer parks. Whats your solution? It would be ironic if men in black uniforms came to move these types in camps for "special treatment". The kids name is the least of his problems, he can change that later or at least drop the Hitler bit.

Ponster · 17-12-2008 08:23AM

Strange, strange people to name their kids like that (esp. Aryan Nations!) and expect to be treated as anyone else when the WWII is still a living memory. Is this a minor form of child abuse I wonder?

BTW, can't the store just say 'no' and not make the cake. don't they reserve the right to serve regardless of why ?

Imagine telling a member of the travelling community that they can't get their name on their cake because their are travellers... It's descrimination. I am not sure about the consumer rights in America, but I doubt you would see it here without a big hulabaloo...

Aye, his name is just an indication of the mindless brainwashing he's likely to endure for the next 20 or so years, which no doubt his parents have also gone through themselves. It's a sad situation.

Sharpshooter · 17-12-2008 08:46AM

Heil never understand human nature , seriously , what did they expect?
Why didn't the mother make the child a cake and put his name on it , it's hardly rocket science.

Berty · 17-12-2008 08:50AM

Nobody with a child with a stupid name should be allowed a cake.

Here is a small list of mine, please add to it if you wish

Crystal
Mercedes
Apple
Teardrop
Anything double-barrelled
Peaches
Dynasty
Providence
Promise

stovelid · 17-12-2008 08:57AM

The supermarket must be annexed immediately.

Each time hitler gets refused a cake a jew dies.

Well, if it's anything like Superquinn, it'll already have ovens.

On a serious note though, that tosser really should be starved of media attention. He got what he wanted even if the child didn't.

ah but that's because membership of the travelling community is covered by the equality act, as is race, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientatation, family status and marital status.

mental names aren't covered you see

Fat Women refused entry to Jersey Nightclub!
By Elaine Byrne
FEMALE clubbers were refused entry into Havana nightclub on Saturday night for being too fat.
Police were called to calm the situation outside the Halkett Street club as bouncers and manager Martin Sayers allegedly told women to 'go away and lose some weight'.

they had to organise a boycott themselves because they couldn't bring a discrimination case. maybe all the work organising the boycott might make them lose a few pounds

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 17-12-2008 09:24AM

Good point sam, but could it be argued? You are refusing to provide a service based on a trait of the customer.

Depends on where you are in society. Being called Mercedes or Crystal in a council area is just bad for Karma.

Or in certain parts of Limerick being called Jonathan is not good either because people call you Johntan in a cutting accent.

Mercedes is just cheap, in any context. Even before my sister entered this world, the name Crystal didn't seem odd to me. Yea it was a council area, but a well spoken council area

niceirishfella · 17-12-2008 10:16AM

I wonder does the young fella have just 1 ball like Hitler?
Maybe thats why they called him Hitler?

Ah, now.

Why didnt they just do the writing themselves? Surely that would have been the more efficient way of doing things.

No birthday cake for Little Hitler
