Young Adolf Hitler (Campbell)

Recently, while perusing Digg, I stumbled upon a small news article (what a shock). The article opens saying:

"A New Jersey family who named their child after Adolf Hitler is having problems getting a birthday cake made for their 3-year-old. "

My first reaction was to check the validity and legitimacy of the website, not shock that people would name their children after a mass murderer. When I finally determined that the site was, in fact, a real news site I was disgusted. Why would anyone wish to name their child that? I understand that all names have meanings and Adolf has it's own meaning completely separate of what it means today. It once meant "noble wolf" and had no negative connotations. But when Hitler decided to be angry for sucking at art he had to go and ruin that name. So while reading I was thinking maybe if his name were just Adolf ... Campbell that there might be some legitimate reasoning behind the name. So I read on...

The cause of all the fuss, was not the individuals naming their child Adolf Hitler Campbell, but that a supermarket would not make a cake for the little boy. As the supermarket is a privately owned business they do not have to make custom cakes for anyone that requests. They have the right to decide if they do a cake for and individual, or group, even if it doesn't have questionable moral background. So, once again, the Campbells are out of line, not only by naming their child "Adolf Hitler" but for whineing about how a private company won't bake them a cake.

By this time I'm annoyed by the Campbells, not angry or upset, but annoyed. I figured that they thought they were funny and clever naming the child Adolf Hitler then complaining about the trouble it causes them. I still assumed (hoped) that the people weren't racist, and that they were just idiots. Untill I got to the end of the article:

"The couple's other two children are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell."
