Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied
48 mins ago
(http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20081216/capt.e06e43d92c4144a595fe2ecdfdb8ab7f.hitler_cake_njrs102.jpg?x=400&y=256&q=85&sig=AFuPq275AoPnCuy4ciE.Tg--)
EASTON, Pa. – 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."
This is probably the most screwed up thing I've ever seen. I'm getting popcorn and a beer for viewing the field day we're gonna have with this clown. ;D

I just dont know where to begin.

What kind of kooks name their kid Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation? ...and they are suprized when people don't support their bigotry? I hope they never eat cake! I'm in disbelief...freedom of speech, yes, but are you really going to take it that far?

"There's a new president and he says it's time for a change; well, then it's time for a change,"

I feel bad for the kid... Then again I feel bad for any kid that was given a name that is either bad or "hippy" ( WTF kind of name is Flower, or moon beam)
-
Alright. Call me 'odd', but something is bugging the crap outta the historian section of my brain. Who TF is Honszlynn Hinler in either the Third Reich or the Aryan Nation? Some kind of freakazoid word play on Heinrich Himmler????

Not to profile but the guy in the picture looks like a crazy IMHO... :o

This is just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why brothers and sisters should neither marry nor reproduce.

You forgot to make fun of his neighbors "caps lock", and Q.
But TAB's right this time, take Dweezil for example. Poor bas%$#

So now it's okay to deny services to people based on their names? Isn't that prejudiced? What if they didn't like your name? It's not the kids fault his parents named him that. Make the @#$% cake. Why should people make him suffer more than he already will with a name like his?

Yes. And that is why Obama is truly not eligible to serve as president
-
Didn't Rome start its fall when the #1 boys name became Brutus? I guessing 2008/9's will be Obama.

I'm more on the stupidity of the parents than the refusal to make the cake.
Here's more, much more centered on the entire family than just the birthday. 5 pages, so I'm just giving the link.

And don't forget 'Moon Unit Zappa'.
Jeez, what the hell were these people thinking with the Hitler name? Let's find a way to torture the kids for life.

Disabilities, the couple says, have left both out of work: Heath Campbell can't landscape or pump gas because he has emphysema, and Deborah can't waitress because she has a bad back. They live on Social Security payments.
In the foyer, Heath Campbell, who said he has German ancestry and a relative who fought for the SS, took off boots he said were worn by a Nazi solider named Daniel.
Geez. We're supporting this lot! And Obama wants more 'spreading the wealth'. ::)

I suppose they're gonna name the next one that pops out "Anti Christ Campbell".
To quote that wise philosopher, Bugs Bunny, "What a bunch a maroons!!"

http://www.wayodd.com/new-zealand-couples-baby-name-blocked-by-authorities/v/7535/
A couple in New Zealand have had their choice of baby name vetoed by authorities after they attempted to name their baby "4real".
Pat and Sheena Wheaton were informed by New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages that their choice had been rejected, because numerals were not allowed on birth certificates.
"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and there's no direct link between the meaning and the name" said Ms. Wheaton in an interview with TV One.
The Registry has begun negotiating with the couple under a rule that states that unusual names can be given consideration on a case-by-case basis. "The name has not at this stage been rejected. We are currently in discussions with the parents to clarify the situation" said Registrar-General Brian Clarke in a statement.
The baby will be named "Real" if no compromise is met.
and this one Also from the land of the sheep lover
http://namepedia.org/en/blog/?blogMessageID=18
A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated - "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii".
New Zealand does not allow names that would cause offence or that are longer than 100 characters, Registrar-General Brian Clarke said.
Officials often tried to talk parents out of particularly unusual choices that could embarrass their offspring, the Associated Press news agency quoted him as saying.

I would ask are these people effen stupid ? But the answer, unfortunately, is glaringly obvious. :(
-
The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names and didn't expect the names to cause problems. Despite the cake refusal, the Campbells said they don't expect the names to cause problems later, such as when the children start school.
How F'n stupid

Some people should not breed.....

Not anywhere near as hard of a time as your kids are going to get throughout their lives due to your wanting attention for being a dipshit.

Some people should'nt be allowed to breed. Or vote for that matter. ;D ;D ;D ;D

UPDATE: Boy named Adolf Hitler, his sisters removed from parents' home by New Jersey authorities
http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/index.ssf/2009/01/boy_named_adolf_hitler_his_sis.html
State authorities have removed Adolf Hilter Campbell and his two sisters from their parents' home in Holland Township, township police Chief David Van Gilson said today.
New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services took the 3-year-old, as well as JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, 1, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who turns 1 in April, the chief said.
The parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, were to appear for a hearing today at the Hunterdon County Justice Center, the chief said, but the hearing was postponed.
The chief didn't know why the children were taken but said his department received no reports of abuse or negligence.

Maybe they were filming an episode of 'Intervention'.
