Holland Township family angry that supermarket won't personalize cake for their son

[meegbear]

JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell and Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Good 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."

No, naming your children Aryan Nation, Honszlynn Hinler and Adolf Hitler is sad.

1. Good for ShopRite

15. I will continue to shop at ShopRite with pride.

These same assholes probably also support a pharmacist's right to withhold RU-486 from rape victims.

2. that poor kid.

those asshole parents.

10. If he manages to grow up, he'll be a tough SOB.

Scarily however, he'll probably see the indoctrination he is receiving about minorities to be proven "right" since I can pretty much guarantee he will not be treated kindly by them - or many "Aryans" come to that. (I'll leave aside the irony of theat particular appellation applying more correctly to northern Indians than Teutonic types)

If I were him I'd introduce myself as A.H. Campbell and get a cafepress T shirt saying "don't blame me - I didn't pick this name" until I was old enough to change it legally.

6. Idiots.

Everything you'd need to steal these kids' identities is on that gallery. Not that anyone would want their identities with those names attached, but still....

12. where is the photo gallery of their home? i want to see it

4. They didn't refuse to MAKE a cake. They refused to decorate it.

It's not as if the 3-year old can read, anyway (or it's doubtful). This is about the parents, not about the kids. This story makes me angry on many levels, but especially because these are three kids who are really going to be screwed up.

14. Scroll down

There is a link to it between the picture of little Adolph Hitler Campbell and the Comments section.

5. Giving kids names like those is child abuse.

7. The father looks like a meth head.

8. Yes, I feel very sad for those children..

they are innocent, and couldn't help being born to ignorant people.

Wonder if daddy is a Republican? Those family values...

[krispos42]

9. OMG those are the real names?

I saw the story on Fark... I thought "JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell" and "Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell" were fake names for the Fark story!!!!!


:rofl: :cry: :rofl: :cry:

11. I hope beyond hope that this is satire.

I'm scared to death that it's not.

Those parents are proof positive that some people ought not be allowed to breed.

13. It's always hilarious watching people who know they are offensive say "Who, me?"

And by hilarious I mean aggravating.

16. My BIL married a woman whose child was named Aryan.

The boy's father is a skinhead and she had never even heard of the Aryan Nation! After we told her what it was about, she didn't think anyone else would know what it was. We corrected her on that right away. How lame is it that she didn't even know what she was naming her child! They did start calling him Aaron after that though. Fortunately, they're divorced now as she was a immature whack-job.
