No birthday cake for Adolf Hitler, age 3

A New Jersey couple is upset because the local grocery won't make a birthday cake for their kiddo, who is named Adolf Hitler. (His little sister's middle name is "Aryan Nation.") I guess this isn't technically a crime, but naming a kid Hitler just FEELS like child abuse.

Hat Tip: Many thanks, Rhonda!

Lets see, neck tatoo check, named son Adolf Hitler check, named daughter Aryan Nation check. I don't even know what the 3rd childs name is suppose to mean. What a couple of complete jackasses.

[Dan]

What's wrong with people?

[D-man]

These turd stains need to accept whatever happens to them for naming their child that. And I hope the kid changes his name once he realizes how retarded his parents are. Why didn't that dad change his name? "They need to accept a name"? It would be one thing if it was Adolf Campbell, or Heath Hitler. Heck the founder of some our breweries were named Adolf or Adolph, Adolfus. Adolphus Busch, Adolph Coors. Hitler was a bad man who ruined anything associated with him to include: Red armbands, little mustaches, crappy combovers(but I don't think that one's going away like it should).

That's my two cents. Keep the change.

I'm guessing here, but I think the parents had a little trouble spelling and meant HansLynn Himmler.

I saw this posted on another site, but I thought it an interesting comment:

"Personally it seems to me like the family is purposely trying to stir up trouble. Who puts the full name including middle on a birthday cake??? Ive never seen that happen! Just ask them to put "Happy Birthday Adolf" and Im sure the store would do it....but asking for the whole name of a 3 year old is just silly and obviously an attempt to cause anger and controversy."

[Shifty]

D-man - ditto to your remarks.

[T-Bone]

Morons... both of em.

you might be a redneck if...

Mike-
You forgot, "poor dental hygiene with serious nicotine yellowing, check."

This is child abuse. This poor kid will have to change his name or be picked on for the rest of his life.And of all names. Some people shouldn't breed! Shame on Wal-mart. I don't shop there anyway. This company is as bad as Hitler.

[Ron Burgundy]

When I was a boy, my mom told me that I could be whatever I want. So growing up I knew that If I tried hard I could maybe be the President of The United States of America. Not this kid, mom and pop sure ruined his chances of getting any good job. I can't see him being a great business leader, military strategist, or public speaker.
The jobs that he will be limited to are:
1) Burning dogs at the humane society.
2) Evil Dictator
3) Carnie
4) Gay porn star
5) Inmate

[blarneology]

Oh get real it's not child abuse. It's asinine but as I already said there are lots of kids with really bad names.

Yesterday was the beginning of the Ardennes Offensive, better known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Maybe that's why these white trash slugs named their poor kid that moniker.

Aryan Nation? Was gibt mitt das?

If he's really talented, why not all 5?

It was a fun b-day party, I bought little Adolf an "Easy Bake Oven" set.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

So the parents have very strong German roots and could have named him after a relative for all I know. Really, if you look back there were many who were named Adolph Hitler and just because of one moron who caused a lil skirmish in Europe shouldn't be a reason why they can't name their child that.

Another thing, NJ allows gay marriage? I don't know why two chicks would care what others thought of the name of their kid.

[JUNGLE JIM]

LOL, Ty. Did he also get any Master (race) of the Universe action toys?

[gee]

I ran into the same thing with my twins, Josef Stalin and Pol Pot.

Very poor choice of names, but nothing illegal about it. Idiots tend to breed more idiots, so the poor kids probably didn't have much of a chance in life no matter their monikers...

[Tam]

Sorry, that was me. ; )

[BN]

me - We have elected person with name Barack Obama to the office so you never know what is going to happen 32 years from now in time when young Adolph Hitler would turn 35 America may be liberal enough to elect him our next President (God forbid)

Tribute to their German heritage? How about Johann Sebasian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Friedrich Schiller? Better yet, how about Felix Mendelssohn?

It's ShopRite not ShopReich!

It is because of people that make comments like these above that America has no tolerance for others. He is a child with a name, not a murderer. You don’t have to like it, but just deal with it, without the rude comments. Hopefully he doesn’t go to school with ignorant people like the people blogging here.

[Nemesis]

People who intentionally draw attention to themselves almost always get it, for better or worse, and from the article, they have created an avalanche of bad attention tot hem selves. Maybe they'll get a clue. But in any case, the parents are brain dead maroons and I hope the kid changes his name as soon as he is old enough.

[Bohica]

"Heath 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."

Yea... why doesn't he name his son "Yngwie Malmsteen"?? Oh.. wait... someone already has that name.

[gee]

CD--

Give me a break--we "rude" commentators on this little ol' crime blog are the reason there is intolerance in America? I didn't realize this blog was so influential.

You said we were ignorant--please enlighten me as to why I should be "tolerant" and not at least raise my eyebrows over these two parents.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

I see nothing wrong at all with naming their child that. At least with his name, there is history in the origins of that name, and one that he likely wouldn't hear often in normal conversation. If they were trying to model him after Hitler, they'd probably already have removed one of his balls by now. I see no goofy mustache on his face and so far he's not a great orator.

People have a right to name their child whatever they choose, whether it be Saddam, Osama, Moonbeam, Sunshine, Twizzlestick, Hitler, whatever.

I'm surprised more of you aren't upset at the Mexicans who name their kid Jesus.

[blarneology]

Thats heyzeus R2.

[Searching]

The fact is that the name comes with a really bad stigma attached to it. Like naming your kid Caine after the first ever murderer... but you do have the right to name your kid anything you want. and I would think that not making his birthday cake is a huge form or discrimination.

But look at it this way, he is named after one of the most genius political and military leaders of the 20th century.

[gee]

I don't know R2--Twizzlestick seems like more of a middle name to me . . .

[FanDanGo]

Idiocy abounds. The amazing thing is a neighboring Wal-Mart decorated the cake to the parents' evident satisfaction.

[lame]

I'm offended, I have a neck tattoo along with lets say round 75% of the rest of my body. I'm not a sh*t kicken hill billy white power rascist. It's clear their ignorant, let us not stoop to their level or Nazi level by grouping people.

It would be like me calling "Mike" a f*g for his ignorant comment. Wouldn't be fair to the gay community.

[Kevin]

I can't believe they named their kids that...

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

Blarney, I know how it's pronounced in Spanish... :)

Man, who would have thought that the Cake Nazi's would have shut that 3 year old down for his birthday.

Sorry kiddo but, NO CAKE FOR YOU!

And very very few people with neck tattoos are what I would call good people. All they usually try to do is intimidate people and in the end just look like an overcompensating douche.

[CD]

Not just the people on this blog are rude. We have people in America with this attitude every day, and they don't always stop with the name calling. If people were more understanding of others we would not have as much hate in this world. This nation was built by all kinds of different people. Not everybody likes everything others do, but if you speak up about it with out the nasty comments it makes this world a nicer place, and you get more people to listen.

[blarneology]

"And very very few people with neck tattoos are what I would call good people. All they usually try to do is intimidate people and in the end just look like an overcompensating douche. "

That's why I got mine on my forehead, it's like my own welcome sign.

[jeffrey]

CD appears to be a cry baby!

[Sasquach]

It's not really a problem that they named their kid Adolf Hitler. What is a problem is that he and his little buddies Benito, Franc, and Hiro convinced the other kids in the neighborhood that it was little David Schwartz's fault that we're in a recession and that they should all tape him in a cardboard box and fart in it.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

Thats a very welcoming greeting there Blarney.

Of course, the only way you are cool is if you are like Mr Cool Ice. And you know, He gets all the ladies.

[gee]

CD--
The radio news reported this morning that this couple has been turned down by the same store for birthday cakes two other times (once because they wanted a swastika on the cake). The parents simply want attention, and it looks like they're getting some. They knew there would be negative backlash, so quit feeling sorry for them.

Are you on drugs?

[lame]

"youre a mean drunk"

Just because your afraid of people doesnt give you the right to project your fears onto them.. Isn't that kinda what happen in Nazi Germany??? People were afraid the Jew were a certain way??? How many people with tattoos have you actually meet and got to know, seeing as your afraid of them...

"And very very few people with neck tattoos are what I would call good people. All they usually try to do is intimidate people and in the end just look like an overcompensating douche. "

I imagine you to be a late 30's early 40's balding "science teacher" type that would begin to give me unwanted and unnecessary compliments about my art(tattoos) while standing in line somewhere because your not comfortable enough with yourself to just stand there and mind your own f*cking business. Probably drives a Harley Davidson Softail with a leather jacket...

ignorant people like the people blogging here.

I guess some people forget to easy what happen during WWII. I don't hate the child,I hate his stupid parents.If you can call them that!

[acehunter]

Why is it that anytime someone is a "racist", they are automatically a redneck, hillbilly,etc.? That is predjudice in itself.

A long haired hippie, head banger is not a redneck.

[blarneology]

Lame, I drive a custom swingarm with a leather jacket, an HD wide glide with a leather jacket, and a custom softtail with a leather jacket. Did you have a point or do you just have no idea what a sense of humor is? Oh yea I have tats too but am not stupid enough to put them where they cannot be covered up. How about you?

[lame]

blanery

I'm glad for your success,, good luck making all them payments... I didnt care what people thought of my tattoos enough to let them dictate where i put them ,, but to each their own.

[blarneology]

Payments? must have missed something because I don't remember any payments.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

Lame,

It's one thing to have a tattoo here or there on your body. But to have them in highly visible places like your neck and full arm sleeves is just trashy. While you spent all that money on tattoos that fade and half don't mean much to you, I'm enjoying the HD softtail and leather jacket I was able to buy because I don't splurge on silly things like that. Ride to live, Live to ride!

Nope, not in my late 30's or 40's. Not really a science type either. However, I will admit that I can be somewhat of an intellectual who can't understand why people get such silly things as a neck tattoo. How many ex's that you beat are tattoo'd on your body? Probably at least 6 or 7 I'd guess.

And tattoo's are art? Says who? One can only hope you get "Hanged" in a gallery to show off your art. *rolls eyes*

I'm not afraid of tatt'd up douches, I just laugh at them for being so stupid to cover that much of their body with ink that fades and gives back no tangible benefits. I'm sure your trophy biker babe (more then likely nasty and a few diseases) enjoys them very much.

I pay attention because most that are that tatt'd up are thieves and criminals. I don't want you to steal my stuff. ;)
