Adolf Hitler Can’t Get a Birthday Cake
Dec 18, 2008 Current Events, Found Online
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!
3-year-old boy found running on Indiana freeway

From the article (emphasis mine):
The 3-year-old, wearing only a diaper and T-shirt, was found running in the middle of the slow lane of northbound I-465 Saturday morning…“Oh, he got out again,” Merritt said she told him after hearing about her son’s escape.
MAYBE I can understand your 3-year old getting out. Maybe she was doing something for a second, and her attention was not on him. I can MAYBE understand that. But to have your son get out of your home and make it all the way on to a freeway, and to not know it until the someone wakes you up? And then, to say that this has happened before?
Come on, people. If you are going to have children, you should probably expect to have a certain level of responsibility for them. This is just rediculous!
