Holland Township family angry that supermarket won’t personalize cake for their son
by Express-Times staff
Sunday December 14, 2008, 12:16 AMGood names for a trio of toddlers? Heath and Deborah Campbell think so. The Holland Township couple has picked those names and the oldest child, Adolf Hitler Campbell, turns 3 today.
This has given rise to a problem, because the ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township has refused to make a cake for young Adolf’s birthday.
“We believe the request … to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate,” said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.
The Campbells turned down the market’s offer to make a cake with enough room for them to write their own inscription and can’t understand what all of the fuss is about.
“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.”
Others, such as Anti-Defamation League director Barry Morrison, applauded Shop Rite’s decision.
“Might as well put a sign around their (the children’s) neck that says bigot, racist, hatemonger,” said Morrison. “What’s the difference?”
Yes, poor little Adolf Hitler.
Transformers – the official shirt of Hitler.
This is their other kid, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
These kids will be the most well-adjusted kids ever!
Luckily, Wal-Mart steps up to rescue young Adolf Hitler and give him a happy birthday. Thanks, Wal-Mart!
