Adolf Hitler Can't Get a Birthday Cake

There is a family in New Jersey that had the bright idea of naming one of their children “Adolf Hitler”.  Read that sentence again.  Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Adolf Hitler?  What would EVER give you the idea to name someone that?

Anyway, according to Fox News, they are having trouble finding a bakery that will make him a birthday cake with his name frosted onto it.

Heath and Deborah Campbell said their local ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township, N.J., refused to personalize a cake for their son, Adolf Hitler Campbell.

“We believe the request … to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate,” Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, told the Express-Times.

Are the parents even surprised?  Like someone on Digg said,

“That’s just child abuse. It’s worse than forcing your kid to wear a KKK hood and robe to school every day because he can’t take this hood off. Sick parents indeed.”

I can’t say I disagree with that.  Props to the ShopRite for not making the cake for them!

    I heard this story on the radio this morning and couldn’t believe it. I really just don’t get people sometimes.

    I saw this on Digg too (gotta love Digg.) I can’t imagine why a parent would name their kid Adolf Hitler. Were they stoned at the time or something? Completely insane!

    Dubes last blog post..How do you know an idea is worth pursuing?
