Heath and Deborah Campbell were furious when their local baker in New Jersey refused to decorate a birthday cake with the name of their baby boy.
But ShopRite, in Holland Township, ignored the parents�?pleas after concluding that “Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler�?was an inappropriate use of icing sugar.
Adolf Hitler Campbell turned 3 this week and celebrated at a party with his younger sisters Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie (sic �?apparently in tribute to Heinrich Himmler) and JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.
His parents insisted that some of the toddler’s best friends were black. Mr Campbell, 35, said that about 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children who were of mixed race.
The angry father, who was wearing a pair of black boots that he claimed were Second World War German artefacts, said: “They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did.�?
He said he named his son after the leader of the Third Reich because he liked the name and because “no one else in the world would have that name.�?
"Other kids get their cake," he complained. "I get a hard time. It's not fair to my children. How can a name be offensive?"
