A family who named their child Adolf Hitler is angry with a local supermarket for refusing to put the child’s name on his birthday cake.
According to The Express Times:
A local supermarket refused to make a birthday cake with “Adolf Hitler” on it.
The ShopRite in Greenwich Township has also refused to make a cake bearing the name of Campbell’s daughter, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, who turns 2 in February.
Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, a girl named for Schutzstaffel head Heinrich Himmler, turns 1 in April.
“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.
A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart said the store won’t put anything illegal or profane on a cake but thinks it’s important to respect the views of customers and employees.
I’m sure there’s going to be a lawsuit. I wonder how it’ll turn out. Will companies have the right to refuse birthday cakes to little Hitlers? I bet they won’t.
So in the meantime. Happy Birthday three year old Adolf. Your life’s not going to get any easier in the near future, at least until you turn 18, change your name, and get away from your crazy parents.

Deusdonat,
WOW. Do I ever feel cowed.
It would seem that at least one of us is, as you say, a powerless, sniveling little pest who tries to belittle others when he says, and I quote from your December 18, 2008 8:14 PM post, things like “as we have seen how very weak-minded people (looking at a few posts above me here)” .
And, you still haven’t addressed the fact that your remarks smack of Naziism,Fascism, etc.

Poco-
Don’t mind him, he just likes to try to cow folks– you’ve probably just earned yourself a vendetta by not rolling under, same way I did.

Foxfier, formerly Sailorette,
I get the impression the guy is a pseudo-intellectual operating within an overestimation of his mental capabilities. Probably eurotrash. You know how they set themselves up as the moralists of the world and involve themselves in things that do not pertain to them. They are usually liberals that, when they find themselves backed into a corner, start calling names (I guess I am also guilty of that considering what I just said about him).
The BBC made the comment that we colonists have finally bacome civilized because we have elected a black as president in this country. Of course this insensed quite a few of us. My sister wrote them a note stating that she was glad that we could finally become part of the world community right next to the black king and Prime Minister of England.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and hope you have a raging good New Year.
