QuoteEASTON, Pa. (AP) — A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on his birthday cake. Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich 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.
Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika.
"We reserve the right not to print anything on the cake that we deem to be inappropriate," Meleta said. "We considered this inappropriate."
The Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania, Deborah Campbell said Tuesday.
A Wal-Mart spokesman told The Associated Press on Wednesday that in light of the incident, the company would review its guidelines regarding cake decorations and other requests.

Personally I think everyone involved (except the kid who had no choice) deserves the "Dumbass award". The parents for giving the kid a name that they knew was going to cause controversy and then for whining because it does exactly what they should have known it would do.
And to the stores for giving a fat rat's behind what the kid's name is, which guarantees the parents publicity so they can whine. Which is what they wanted all along anyway. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what name a parent gives a child the stores shouldn't pretend that they want do anything other than sale cakes it's annoying.
The victim in this case is clearly the child. :yes:
These kids have been taken from these parents, which I think is wrong if all they are accused of is naming the kids Nazi names and buying a Nazi birthday cake. Big brother does not have the right to take anyone's child away for their beliefs, right or wrong.

But what of the future effects that will be felt by these children that are a direct result of the absolutely STUPID actions of the parents? There are certain elements in our society that would be all too willing to murder these children just because of their names. They may be subjected to ridicule and castigation by their peers, subjected to physical violence, and may face the possibility of being murdered all because of the actions and ideology of their parents.
If ever a case can be made for forced sterilization, the parents of these two children are prime examples of it.

They absolutely have the right if they can take children from a religious compound for essentially the same thing. It is child abuse. They are raising their children to hate. Essentially they are raising home grown terrorists! LehighValleyLive.com reports that Adolf and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 1, and 8-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, were removed from their home by New Jersey's Division of Youth and Family Services.
It reminds me of those hideous girls who are about 15 and sing racially dangerous songs that they and their White Power parents create.
