Heath and Deborah Campbell named their now three-year-old son Adolf Hitler Campbell. A ShopRite store refused the Campbells' order for a birthday cake with the child's name spelled out. Heath Campbell, invoking the name of President-elect Obama: "There's a new president and he says it's time for a change; well, then it's time for a change. They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did." A spokeswoman for ShopRite defended the store's refusal to provide the requested birthday cake, noting that past requests by the Campbells (including a request for a swasitika) had been denied.
The Campbells did find a store willing to provide the Hitler birthday cake: Wal-Mart.
