Cake request for 3-year-old Hitler namesake denied

EASTON, Pa. -- The parents of a 3-year-old were turned down when they asked a New Jersey supermarket to put the boy's full name on his birthday cake.
The kid's name: Adolf Hitler Campbell.
The parents are upset not only by the decision by the ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article.
Heath Campbell of Easton, Pennsylvania, says people need to "start focusing on the future and not on the past." Campbell says he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name."
A ShopRite spokeswoman says the Campbells were also refused a couple of years ago when they asked for a swastika in the decoration.
As for this year's birthday cake, mom Deborah Campbell says a Pennsylvania WalMart agreed to put the kid's full name on the cake. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
