When you name your baby Hitler—or, in this case, Adolf Hitler Campbell—perhaps you are stacking the deck against him. A NJ family is upset that ShopRite refused to personalize a cake with "Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler." The boy's father, Heath Campbell, a "Nazi fan" (his other kids are JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlyn Hinler Jeannie) and Holocaust denier who decorates his home with swastikas, told reporters yesterday, "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." ShopRite offered to write "Happy Birthday" with room for the Campbells to inscribe it themselves, but the outraged family took their business to Wal-Mart, which apparently supplied little Adolf's earlier cakes. For levity: Top 10 rejected names for Adolf Hitler Campbell ("9. Dahmer Amin Stalin Telemarketer Campbell").
