Heath and Deborah Campbell said their local ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township, N.J., refused to personalize a cake for their son.
(That sounds sad and looks like an outrage that a store won't even personalize a cake for a little boy right, or is there more to the story. Please read the rest of the story below.)
A New Jersey family who named their child after Adolf Hitler is having problems getting a birthday cake made for their 3-year-old.
"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, told the Express-Times.
Barry Morrison of the Anti-Defamation League agreed with ShopRite's decision. "Might as well put a sign around their [the children's] neck that says bigot, racist, hatemonger,"Morrison said. "What's the difference?" ( Child Named Hitler Has Problem Getting Birthday Cake )
The Campbells say they don't understand what the big deal is. "ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," mother Deborah Campbell said."That's sad."
(The little boy of course has done nothing wrong here. The store was right to refuse to write Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler. Why did the parents do such a dumb thing and then say they don't understand what the big deal is. The outrage is the parents having an attitude like that. Every name in the world makes people think of something if it be Jesus, Billy Graham, Mother Teresa , Saddam Hussein, or Adolf Hitler. The fact is the name Hitler will always remind people of the evil of the Holocaust .)
