Talk about growing up with a tough name.
 

Unreal, some people.

Supermarket defends itself over Adolf Hitler cake

Dec 17 04:17 PM US/Eastern


EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on his birthday cake. 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."

The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said Tuesday.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Anna Taylor told The Easton Express-Times that the store won't put anything illegal or profane on a cake but thinks it's important to respect the views of customers and employees.

"Our No. 1 priority in decorating cakes is to serve the customer to the best of our ability," Taylor said from Bentonville, Ark.

When reached by The Associated Press, Taylor said she'd call back to provide a comment.

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.

"Say he grows up and hangs out with black people. That's fine, I don't really care," he said. "That's his choice."

He said about 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children of mixed race.

I'm sitting in a Holiday Inn Express room in Easton right now. Easton, the home of Larry Holmes. I'll see if anything is mentioned on the local news at 6.
I have a customer whos last name is McWeeny, Yikes!!

Been there a million times. I grew up in Hunterdon Co., NJ and Dave Philips in Philipsburg, NJ was the best music store in the area. I used to then go to Easton because it had the only Long John Silver's in the area. I know the Wal-Mart that made this cake too. I think Larry Holmes still has a hotel in Easton.

there is a spanish guy called Jezus Superman... not kidding previous job a collegue came across that guy... we kept a list of funny names... should ave xeroxed it... it was incredible what is out there...

parents calling their kid Adolf if their last name is Hitler... they should be sued for child abuse

When I worked at the RNC we had a donor whose name was - get this - George Washington America. We used to put the phone on speaker/mute when he called and just howled. He was an immigrant who had changed his name once he became a citizen, obviously very proud of his adopted homeland.

my last name is furer, i grew up in the fifties and sixties and heard every permutation of hitler joke there was. i can only imagine what this kid has in store for him.

"Joycelynn Aryan Nation Cambell, stop hitting your brother and come here this minute!!!!!"

I read this story yesterday. To disgusted to post...

Just because you can, is not a good reason. Stupid parents.
What were the parents thinking? "Nah, it won't effect them growing up..."

My daughter teaches in the Easton area. You would shake your head in disbelief at some of the racist crap going on out there.

You name your kids

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell
Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell
Adolph Hitler Campbell

but say
I don't buy it. I guess he wants his kid to be a boxer or Ultimate Fighter or something.

The parents are mentally ill.

That's more likely the bottom line.


KT

LOL- my sister works in that ShopRite. I guess I will have to call her.

I grew up in Clinton. Where were you from Rick?

The History department in my high school had a Mr. Fuhrer and a Mr. Czaplak.

They were known as 'The Fuhrer' and 'The Czar'.

They obviously were not in the Creative Writing department.

This is headline news here in NJ today.

Adolph Hitler Campbell

Poor start to a resume !

WTF?

Who would do that to a kid, I can only imagine.

Flemington

Nothing on the local news. But I did have dinner at the LJS. You're a bad influence :D

LOL - Central Sucks.

You have a PM.

That's the respect the RNC has for proud self-made immigrants who donate money to the cause?

Wow, those names make "Rainbow Dreamcatcher Smith" and "Mystic River-Fox Johnson" seem acceptable and . . . mundane.

Lighten up, Francis. We took calls from kooks all day long. You can't not laugh at some folks with crazy names or the letter from the high school English teacher full of horrible grammar and spelling or the $15 a year donor who thinks Bob Dole is gonna return his calls. We were never rude to anyone, but we had some laughs around the office. In fact, I once got played by a reporter calling in, pretending to be a willing donor and asking me all kinds of weird questions. I suspected something was up, but was polite to her and answered everything in all seriousness. Months later some random donor mailed in a newspaper clipping of this woman's column in some FL newspaper writing about her conversation with me. She did say I was polite. And she wasn't even a real donor. Kinda weird that I was the guy who opened that letter not addressed to any specific person or office at the RNC.

Remember when Kate & Alley was on tv? Around that time Susan St. James brought her two kids to interview at my prep school. I didn't meet them, but their names were Harmony and Sunshine.

Rick your from Flemington?!? Ha. I grew up in Washington Twp in Warren County. Seems to be quite a few of us North NJ guys...Be there in 4 days!

I was just watching Seinfeld and they had Drake's Cakes on there. Man, that made me miss the east coast. I gotta find me a source out here.

These folks are idiots and should not be breeding. That kid will be changing his name about 5 minutes after he turns 18, unless he is as stupid as his parents

ooo, creepy

I always thought Susan St James was pretty hot, good porno name too

A couple in Nordstroms Rack had two kids with them. The husband was in line with one, and was telling him "Socrates, quit touching the gloves". He then shouted to his wife, who had the other, "Take Aristotle to the car and I'll meet you there".

My wife and I couldn't keep help but snicker, nevermind keep a straight face.

Was at daughters school music recital, some parents of course had their other kids with 'em. From behind me I heard a "Dammit, Ranger and Charger, stop screwin around and sit down proper!"

And what's with this new trend of giving first names that are usually surnames? CNN's weatherman's first name is Reynolds. And who names their kid Smith? I knew a Jesse James in junior high. I went to high school with Ivan Boesky's twin boys. We called one of them Ted the Terrible. Actually, they were very cool.

There's a guy at work named Gay Cox. No joke. Never met the man, but seen email from him. Poor SOB.

Parents had requested swastikas on prior b-day cakes. Obviously Aryan Brotherhood types. They eventually convinced a local WalMart to make the "Adolf Hitler" cake. I'll bet that WalMart store manager got a call from corporate.

I had a brain surgeon named Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr....

What a pathetic story. Good for the store NOT to do the cake.

I can't help but think that a guy that names his kid AH doesn't deserve a bullet in the friggin' head? What an absolute idiot.

How about Ivory White? Yup, went to school withthe kid

No joke. Played baseball in Little League with a kid named Michael Hunt.

Wife's former Ob-Gyn was Dr. Fok. Always chuckled when we heard him paged.

anybody remember Lamb and Lynx? the adorable aryan brotherhood answer to the olsen twins.

There is a guy at work who's name is Dick Burns. Really.

The movie where Adam Sandlers character was named "Gay Focker"; now that was funny.

True
 

Had a guy in my unit who's name was Harry Johnson, couldn't keep a straight face around him.
