Supermarket Defends Itself Over Adolf Hitler Cake

[Jagger69]

These parents named their child Adolf Hitler Campbell and were denied in their request to have a birthday cake decorated with that name on it by a local grocery store.

Is this a violation of the parents' rights under the first amendment? Or is the store within their rights to refuse to print anything on a cake that might be deemed "inappropriate"? I'd love to hear any thoughts on this.

I used to work at a grocery store and I hated it so much, but I'm gonna have to side with the store with this. I'm sorry, but you can't make me do something I don't feel comfortable doing. The parents were stupid to name their child Adolf Hitler. If they want a cake that has the childs name on it, then freaking buy a plain cake and some icing and do it yourself.

Some stores only have one cake decorator. Not everybody that works in the bakery knows how to decorate a cake. What if the cake decorator was Jewish? Doesn't matter if the child's last name was "Campbell." Who puts a child's full name on their birthday cake. If the parents wanted "Happy Adolf" then I don't see the harm. They probably wanted the caked to say "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler!"

I personally think the parents are either Nazi's, or they named their child that so something like this would happen, and then they would sue and get lots of money.

Just my two cents.

The Wal-Mart made them their stupid fucking cake. It was not mentioned in the article whether WallyWorld incorporated the swastika they desired.

They also, by the way, have a daughter named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.

My opinion on this? Sometimes, and the victimhood culture in this country may disagree, it is not always necessary to call attention to yourself. Lesson number two is this: If you overturn a rock and discover a bunch of disgusting creatures, sometimes it's better to replace the rock, rather than poking at the creatures.

But that would make sense!!!!! :eek:

 

[Friday on my mind]

I just read the story ,its a family of american nazis lol.
The store has every right as they say to refuse to print the things on cakes they find offensive,2 years ago the family wanted a cake with a swastika.
The walmart that did the cake for them apparently has gotten heat from other customers for making the cake and will probably refuse to do one next time.
I don't really see this as a free speech issue.The stores can choose or not to choose to do as they say anything they find inapproriate it would be like if they went to a t- shirt guy and wanted swastikas printed on t-shirts.There is no law saying he couldn't but no law eitheir saying he has too.
These parents are whacked If you ask me naming there kids nazi names and then make issues and publicity over it.They are gonna buy their kids nothing but trouble with it.I remember (and I live in NJ like these parents) going to school with a kid whose parents had been in a concentration camp in germany.He would have had a lot to say about somebody named Adolf Hitler Campbell.I see this kid having a lot of trouble in school if they send him to public schools.

Yeah, if they want the cake with that on it, they can do it themselves. That crosses a line, and like Xombie said, what if the decorator was Jewish?

 

[member979979]

Ok nevermind, that is a guy.

"So what, its just a name, it doesnt mean race......"

Yeah maybe so, but its not a name you just pull out of your ass. That guy is an idiot, wait till his kids grow up and get fucked by society.

"Named their child Adolf Hitler Campbell."

Why? :shocked:

People need to start thinking before they name their children.

Gwyneth Paltrow named her child Apple.

Nicolas Cage named his child Kal-El Coppola Cage.

Shannyn Sossamon named her child Audio Science.

I found this, 50 craziest celebrity baby names.

 

[meesterperfect]

they should have just made the cake.

Those celebrity babies don't need to function in society, they've already got more money than any of us.

Didn't you see my thread? Celebrity wills

Some of those children won't have financial security.

I'm leaning towards the latter theory. Seems much more likely to me. They ARE American after all :thumbsup:

I was talking about the dad. You gotta admit in that pic he looks like a dike with a pony tail.

I saw a clip on MSNBC tonight and I couldn't tell their son and daughter apart. The son (Adolf) looked like a girl basically.

Just looking at that slack-jawed gawker loser father gives me the creeps....

the latter, I would gather.


Funny though - the freako parents probably could have had their cake prepared to their satisfaction, had they requested "Happy Birthday mao tse tung" , "Happy Birthday che guevara" or "Happy Birthday joseph stalin" lol .

 

[pornophile]

I was reminded of this story http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7522952.stm in which a judge stepped in and legally changed some girl's ridiculous name.

I think that with 6 billion people on earth and counting, we're just bound to see some really "innovative" names popping up. Also, I've come across another Adolf Hitler before, he was a web designer I think.

 

[meesterperfect]

I think naming a kid adolph hitler is just dumb.
butttttt.........they shoulda made the cake.
big deal.
why stop at the full name, what about just adolph?
or a kid named saddam,little joey stalin or jesus?
people in the usa gotta lighten up about things that don't matter.
