Yeesh. What a burden to place on your child.

The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article over the weekend on their flare-up over frosting.

I could not have said it any better then Johnny Summerton already did!

My goodness except for Rommel he was a regular WM Officer and not a NAZI and he was part of the Group off WM Officers that planned the Assassination of Hitler.

Good Comment Johnny, Thank you.

This is why the term "WTF?!" was invented.

I want to discuss Shoprite's policy on cake decoration, but I just can't get my head around the whole name issue here. That the parents had previously requested a swastika somewhat negates their not-racist argument, I think.

There's a case to be made for unusual names, but this strays pretty far past that point. I feel very sorry for that kid when he reaches school age.

Honor a German? Well I will honor Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms or even Richard Strauss. Austrians? Well, Franz Josef Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franx Schubert or even Anton Bruckner. Or Johann Wollgang von Goethe or Thomas Mann. Now you have honorable Germans and Austrians that one can respect. But NEVER Adolf Hitler nor any damn Nazi who completely dishonored Germans and Austrians. I admire the Germany that gave me Bach and Beethoven. Not Hitler and Buchenwald. To hell with these Neo Nazis!
