From the “Are you out of your fucking minds?!?” Dept.:
An Associated Press story posted on Yahoo News yesterday told the truly bizarre tale of the New Jersey parents who seem shocked that a local bakery denied a request to make “a birthday cake with their child's full name on it.” Their son’s name: Adolf Hitler Campbell.
That’s right. First name: Adolf, middle name: Hitler. Put them togther, and you get Adolf Hitler. Heath Campbell and his wife Deborah are asking for “a little tolerance,” and they’re “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.” (You can add this one to the collection.)
Right. They’re upset. By the time their son makes it to whichever grade starts talking about World War II, the Nazis, the Holocaust, six million dead Jews, et cetera, he might be a little upset, too.
For the record, they have two other children with “unusual” names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April. (Not sure what “Honszlynn Hinler,” is supposed to mean, unless they’re too stupid to know how to spell “Himmler.” It would certainly fit the pattern.)
At any rate, Campbell (reported elsewhere to be a Holocaust denier) said, "I think people need to take their heads out of the cloud they've been in and start focusing on the future and not on the past." Oh sure, World War II, the Holocaust, let’s just get over it, or deny it altogether. "There's a new president and he says it's time for a change; well, then it's time for a change," the 35-year-old continued. "They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did."
Okay, maybe the kid won’t grow up to become a dictator, but chances are good he’ll grow up to be a Holocaust denying Jew-hater.
Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name." (Exactly! No one else on earth would have that name, precisely because of the horrific history the name represents.)
This is nothing short of child abuse. The parents are clearly Nazi sympathizers, and it’s hard to believe there isn’t some kind of law against giving your children outrageously vile names.
The story goes on to say that “the Campbells ultimately got their cake decorated at a Wal-Mart in Pennsylvania.” Let’s focus on this for a moment. Wal-Mart had no problem decorating a 3-year-old’s birthday cake with the name “Adolf Hitler” written across it. Wal-Mart. Two possibilities: 1) the morons at Wal-Mart didn’t know who Adolf Hitler is, or 2) they simply didn’t give shit.
AP reported that “about 12 people attended the birthday party on Sunday, including several children who were of mixed race, according to Heath Campbell.” You have to wonder who their friends are, but okay, so these people aren’t complete scumbags. They’re mixing with mixed races, afterall.
Oh, wait, maybe they are scumbags. He said he was “raised not to avoid people of other races but not to mix with them socially or romantically. But he said he would try to raise his children differently. Say he grows up and hangs out with black people. That's fine, I don't really care," he said. "That's his choice." Wow. Open-mindedness never seemed so narrow. No mention of what he’ll think if his kids hang out with Jews, though.
The story further stated that, “Campbell said his ancestors are German and that he has lived his entire life in Hunterdon County. On Tuesday he wore a pair of black boots he said were worn by a German soldier during World War II.” (But he only named his son Adolf Hitler because it’s a unique name, and because he likes it; nothing to do with Nazis or the Holocaust that never happened or anything like that. Thrusting "Aryan Nation" into the middle of his daughter's name is just a big coincidence, too. The perfect Xmas gift for Mr. Campbell might be a t-shirt saying "No one knows I'm a Nazi.")
This story has been all over the internet, with photos of the child and his parents. I decided not to make the kid’s life any worse by including his photo here. Instead, I’m using a photo of the original Adolf Hitler, the one who killed six million Jews, not to mention intellectuals, homosexuals, and others he didn’t deem pure enough to exist in his world of superior beings. This should be especially useful for the morons at Wal-Mart who need to know that Hitler was one of the worst monsters ever to walk the earth, and not just a guy with a cool name.
CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE in order to better see the charred bones & rib cages of gassed Jews in the ovens at Auschwitz. Note to the Campbell family and anyone working at Walmart: a remedial history class might be worth the effort.
