I don’t know if this is funny or sad or scary or what. Dudes name their kid Adolf Hitler Campbell. They get upset when the market won’t put it on a cake. Walmart puts it on there for Jr. (I’m actually surprised). People get hate mail for naming their kids after a racist mass murderer. Upset? You should probably get kicked in the head for being surprised people are mad. Or, rather, perhaps you’ve been kicked in the head too many times?
Folks can name their kids what they want to, certainly, and a market not putting this kid’s real name on a cake is pretty much bullshit. I mean, I could see if they didn’t want to print something about sodomizing a copse, complete with the F-word. Maybe. I mean, people are prudish, and I certainly can be about certain things. Ah, hell, I’ll take a cake with the line, “I wanna sodomize dead fucking caterpillars ten ways from Sunday!” on my next birthday cake.
It’ll be festive.
I’m all for free speech and the look on people’s faces when you use the phrase “I wanna sodomize –” Try it!
Perhaps some light can shed on the entire situation when you learn that another child the couple has spawned has Aryan Nation for a middle name.
But, you know, the guy says he’s not racist, while for some strange reason wearing German boots from WWII. He says he’s not. I’ll play cracker’s advocate. Maybe he’s not. I mean, he’s wearing old boots from WWII. Maybe he’s just crazy or stupid.
Still, if you name your kid something like that and don’t expect any backlash, you are not competent enough in dealing with this whole reality thing to have children.
I’d adopt them, pending a name change. Of course.
This guy seems to be stupid- doesnt seem to understand the context of the name “Adolf Hitler”. Similar tothe jackass back in mumbai, who created soem controversy about 18 months back, by nameing his restaurant “Adolf Hitler’s”. He was an ignoramus, who didnt seem to understand why the name “Adolf Hitler” would cause outrage. he seemed to think that Adolf Hitler was a “famous leader somewhere”, and was totally unaware about what Hitler did.
I dont know if our educational system is to blame for there being so many totally clueless people out and about in our country
What might be most alarming is that that he and his wife seem especially fertile, LOL.
I’ve always said you need a license to drive, you need a license to serve alcohol to the public, hell, you need a license to FISH! There ought to be some requirements to procreating. Bah.
Hey Johnny,
I read your post today mentioning the fact that Adolf Hitler’s parents were unable to get their kid a birthday cake at their local supermarket and so were forced to go to Walmart instead. I don’t know if you’ve heard this ironic tidbit, but Walmart has a history of PR blunders dealing with Nazism. Back in 2006 they had to apologize for selling Nazi T-shirts:

And then in 2005 they had to apologize for running an ad that compared a zoning ordinance with Nazi book burning:

Anyway, I thought this was something you and your readers would find amusing/hilarious.
take care,
Simon
the crazy Campbell family claims that they are not racist, they just picked up these names for their kids, because they like the names… who will believe them… one expecting a child thinks of his child name during the whole pregnancy period… either the guys are really stupid, or they want to fool everyone in the world. of course, they are racists.
