No Cake For Hitler
Adolf Hitler is cute as a button, people. Seriously … he’s adorable. So why the hell won’t a New Jersey supermarket bake a cake for him?
This is the central question in the brewing battle between Heath Campbell, a 35-year-old Holocaust denier, and ShopRite, a Greenwich Township supermarket that is refusing to personalize a birthday cake for Campbell’s two-year-old son, Adolf Hitler Campbell.
The store is also refusing to personalize a cake for Campbell’s three-year-old daughter, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
Campbell and his wife also have a seven-month-old baby girl named Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, who is named after Hitler’s infamous SS chief, Heinrich Himmler.
And yes, those are the names on the three children’s birth certificates.
From Lehigh Valley Live:
“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.”
Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the grocer tries to meet customer requests but rejects those deemed inappropriate. “We believe the request to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate,” she said.
The grocer offered to make a cake with enough room for the Campbells to write their own inscription. But the Campbells refused, saying they would have a cake made at the Wal-Mart in Lower Nazareth Township. The Campbells say Wal-Mart made cakes for Adolf’s first two birthdays.
The Campbells have swastikas in each room of their home, the rented half of a one-story duplex just outside Milford, a borough in Hunterdon County. They say they aren’t racists but believe races shouldn’t mix.
The Campbells said they wanted their children to have unique names and didn’t expect the names to cause problems.
Yeah … we’re gonna go out on a limb here and guess that there will be problems.

Freedom of speach is a beautiful thing, but you just can’t make other people speak it, too.
Adolf needs a haircut, or people are going to it’s Eva instead.

It shouldn’t matter what the childrens names are. Whether its hitler, hennesey,brandy,donkey,or elephant.the poor child didn’t hurt anyone. If you have the money for the cake,you have the right to put anything you want on it . Well walmart got their money. Good for them !!!!!!
