Dumb Food Crime: Adolf Hitler's Birthday Cake
by Michael Y. Park

This food crime deserves a whole post of its own.

A New Jersey ShopRite refused to decorate a cake for a Holland, Penna., three-year-old's birthday because it didn't like the look of the kid's name.

What was the toddler's name?

Adolf Hitler Campbell.

A ShopRite spokeswoman called the idea of making a cake with a birthday wish for HItler inappropriate.

Little Adolf's parents, who named their other children JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, didn't take up the market on its offer to leave space on the cake and let them inscribe the name themselves. Instead, they went to Wal-Mart, which had made cakes for the kid's first two birthdays.

"ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," Deborah Campbell, 25, told the Lehigh Valley Express-Times. "That's sad."

Responded a spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League: "Might as well put a sign around (their kids') neck that says 'bigot, racist, hatemonger.' What's the difference?"

Wal-Mart has a policy against putting illegal or profane inscriptions on cakes, but says it respects its customers' viewpoints.

"Our No. 1 priority in decorating cakes is to serve the customer to the best of our ability," a Wal-Mart spokeswoman said.

According to the Campbells, Adolf's birthday party was attended by about a dozen people, including people of mixed race.

Should ShopRite have made the cake, or was it right in taking its stand? What about Wal-Mart?
