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.

A store manager at ShopRite referred questions to a corporate spokeswoman who did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday. But spokeswoman Karen Meleta told The Easton Express-Times for Sunday's editions that the store considered Campbell's request 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."

I had the same problem just last week.

My lad's called **** **** $hithead Smith.

He was distraught when the shop wouldn't put Smith on the cake cos it was too common.

Good point, well made

A father who named his son Adolf Hitler Campbell is upset that a cake shop has refused to ice “happy birthday Adolf Hitler” on the little boy’s cake.It’s certainly not fair on the poor boy that he has parents that would make the average Jerry Springer married couple look like European nobility. New Jersey couple Heath and Deborah Campbell, 35, also have a daughter named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
Mr Campbell, who has swastikas decorating the family home and believes he is related to a former member of the SS, agrees that the ****’s were not a highly charitable bunch: “Yeah, they (*****) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They’re not going to grow up like that.”

Of course not.... with the care and attention to detail these parents are showing little Adolf and Ayron Nation with grow into fine individuals.

Apparently their next born is to be called GassingZeJuice.

There really should be compulsory sterilization for some folk (and most Americans).

'Adolf Hitler' Is Taken Into Care - Yahoo! News UK

The children have been taken into care. Don't like the comment saying the department in charge doesn't have to give a reason. Surely they answer to somebody.

Poor choice of names granted but assuming no other issues I'm not sure I agree with the children being taken away - they don't know any different.

Taking children away from their parents, because they are f*cking idiots - they've opened Pandoras box there IMO.
It looks like they were seeking attention - and they got it

lozgti

Thats the problem nowadays.

No one knows how to bake or ice their own cake.

Bloomin spoilt I say

c-o-l-e

Seems pretty funny to me.
Just imagine how many Adolfs, Hitlers etc. there are who's names were changed after the second world war.
I feel for the kid, they're either gonna get bullied or be a bully.

Well I think the cake shop were being a bit **** about it all

I saw a post about a knock-link sensor today.
I remember a time when a certain Mr PS Lewis would have given the literal miscreant a metaphorical kick up the date.
Does anyone know what has become of this latter day hero?
Has he riden into the Sunny set side up?
Please don't say "I don't know what you're talking about kid - I've never heard of him!"
I just don't think I can take another shattered illusion today.
