Holland Township family angry that supermarket won't personalize cake for their son
Sunday December 14, 2008, 12:16 AM

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell and Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Good names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.

This has given rise to a problem, because the ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township has refused to make a cake for young Adolf's birthday.

"We believe the request ... to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.

The Campbells turned down the market's offer to make a cake with enough room for them to write their own inscription and can't understand what all of the fuss is about.

"ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," said Deborah Campbell, 25, who is Heath's wife of three years and the mother of the children. "That's sad."

Unfortunately, this was in my local paper.....

I can't imagine when these poor kids have to go to school.......

It's their freaking fault for naming their child Adolph Hitler. Why on earth would you choose that name for your child?

Go to the link and look at the pictures they voluntarily gave to the newspaper. Photos of how they decorate their house with skulls with swastikas on them. That should explain why they named their children what they did......

It really, truly scares me.....

Wow. Once again I find myself shocked that there are still laws being passed to limit the rights of gay parents and yet scum like this is what is repopulating at an exponential rate. If anyone here has seen Idiocracy, I sadly doubt we are too far from it.

People are strange. Especially when they crave attention. I nominate this couple for "Wife Swap"...

These people are sick.

What's also frightening is that they're not in some backwoods, hick area somewhere in the country or the midwest. They're in Raritan, New Jersey.

I had the same thought (about where they live)! I could be to their house in less than an hour - that absolutely horrifies me!

Sick parents! Who would name their child Adolph Hitler on the first place? Just the thought of your children being the butt of jokes at school? NO ONE- I mean.. No one wants that to their child!!! f*cked up parents!!! This is who they should be protecting children from? I agree w/mormonophobic..I feel sorry for the child!

Frankly, I think naming a child Honszlynn should be enough for Family Services to step in and place these children with a nice gay couple.

Oh my god!

I can't believe people are actually naive enough to be surprised that there are people like this out there, even close to big cities! After the passage of prop 8, anyone who is surprised that there are bigots everywhere is easily surprised.

BUT - unless the store has a "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" credo, I'm not really sure I agree with it. I mean, I think that people should be able to get their medication without moral hassles from the pharmacist, so I kinda think douchebags should be able to get their cakes without a hassle, too.

i came in the eye of a guy named Aryan Nation once.

Posted: 12/17/08 at 10:00am

I was not suprised that there are BIGOTS parents out there? BUT to brand your children whith this hideous names? I just believe that at least there is SOME DEGREE of human kindness in everyone... I mean.. you can be a bigot, but you would NOT wish youre children any harm at all? and giving this names to them.....you would think twice!

I'm sure they have an "at our discretion" rule lest people want cakes saying things "F**k you on your birthday!".
But I too as surprised at how many people express shock about this.

The KKK's membership has increased since Obama was elected president.

"You have to be carefully taught"

I think it's slightly obnoxious for the original poster to insinuate that Wal-Mart would treat the situation any differently. Why not entitle the thread accurately and positively that Shop Rite REFUSES Adolf Hitler cake instead of trying to throw an innocent company (in this situation) under a bus?

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 12/17/08 at 10:06am

I'm serious about thinking their children should be taken away. However, while they have them, I believe the store does have some discretion, as Taz points out, and "Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler" (even if it's not THAT Adolph Hilter)is a pretty easy call to make on the Offense-o-Meter.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 12/17/08 at 10:06am

Well, the thing is Jay, I'm sure that those parents don't believe there's any harm in naming their kids those names. People like this have a different value system from you and I.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 12/17/08 at 10:08am

Phyllis, those parents know exactly the harm they're doing. They just don't give a rat's ass.

I guess I have to go to the Acme to get my kid, Douchebag Doodle, her cake...

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 12/17/08 at 10:55am

Reg, if you're a white supremacist, I don't see how you'd see it as harm. Do people who go to KKK rallies consider what they do harm? Did the people who campaigned to make Prop 8 fail think they were doing harm? Or the people in the majority of states that voted to suppress the rights of gay people?

But again, it's still a free speech issue. And this opens up the door for someone to say that the named Tawana or Chantelle offends them and that they don't want to put their name on the cake.

anyone surprised by this needs to spend a little bit of time in Idaho...

and I agree, the Wal-Mart crack was unfair

Don't hate the OP, hate the game.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 12/17/08 at 11:01am

Ok, Phyllis, "harm" is the wrong word. My point is, these people cannot possibly think Adolph Hitler is a neutral name. And no matter how many like-minded nuts are in their particular group of friends, they cannot think that their kids are going to move through life unchallenged.

I believe that what's going on with this incident is exactly what they've been waiting for ever since the little blue burning cross popped up on their home pregnancy test.
