With those of you outside the Delaware Valley area.
A Warren County, NJ family is upset because their local ShopRite refused to write their 3-year-old son’s name on a birthday cake. The boy’s (actual, legal, parent-given) name is Adolf Hitler Campbell.
Philadelphia Will Do sums it up perfectly:
“The family did not want to write their own inscription on the cake — which they could have easily done — because that wouldn’t be exploiting their child to get attention to their laughably horrible cause.”
Here are some choice quotes from the original story:
- “The Campbells said they don’t expect the names to cause problems later, such as when the children start school.”
- “‘Yeah, they (Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They’re not going to grow up like that.’”
- “The Campbells have swastikas in each room of their home, the rented half of a one-story duplex just outside Milford, a borough in Hunterdon County. They say they aren’t racists but believe races shouldn’t mix.”
Okay, I give up. The whole article is one long advertisement for narcissistic stupidity. Go read it if you want to try to gasp and guffaw at the same time.
