i was just reading a story about a 3 year old boy who was denied by the local grocery store of having his cake decorated with his full name…which happens to be adolf hitler.
in case you didn’t know this, hitler was a bad man–the worst. and really this kid’s parents shouldn’t be surprised at all about society’s squeamishness (aka outrage) to accept his rather unusual/horrific name. but alas, they are. and just so you know, these parents? not mensa candidates.
the dad made a comment like, “we’re not racist. we know people of other races and stuff and we don’t want them dead.” (you realize i’m paraphrasing. my version of what he said is funnier). “if my kid grows up and wants to be around other people besides white ones then that’s his choice. not all jewish people are bad. and we got some black kids in our neighborhood and everything. i think a couple of em even came to our house once.”
and then, “it’s just a name. it’s not like he’s going to grow up and be like hitler.”
yeah, but he’s going to get his ass kicked in a rainbow variety you idiot! and then you know what? he’s going to totally fucking hate you for naming him that. i’d sleep with one eye open if i were you, starting tonight.
to make things worse, he then dragged our new president into it! he said, “we’ve got a new president (who i’m learning to tolerate cuz he’s black and i’m a racist) and he says now is the time for change. so we’re trying something new. like getting everyone in america and the world to hate us–and our kids.”
apparently, this is nothing new for nazi family. they were also denied having a swastika iced on a cake a few years ago. what? no tree with a noose? maybe that’s next year’s cake. i can’t wait.
the story gets uglier because it turns out they have a 2 year old daugther whose name is joycelynn aryan nation. i swear to god i’m not making this up.
sigh.
why are people stupid? and why am i still surprised by them?
i have some advice for the family who are not nazis. here’s what you need to do. take cake decorating lessons. then, you can write whatever the hell you want to and you won’t end up on the front page of msn. well, that’s until your son named hitler who you’re not raising to be like the other hitler gets beat up for the 87th time and you sue america–or, he kills you.
i guess it could be worse. his name could be numbnuts mcboogereater.
now that would suck.
what name would you not want on your birthday cake?
how about
george bush?
that would be the very worst name to have.
Charles Manson Dahmer would be pretty awful too.
I read this story too. I thought the same thing as you.
Poor kid.
worse name to have: Lindsay Lohan
I had a friend once named Holly Jolly!!!!!!!! So I’ll pick that one.
Some people are insane. I went to school with a girl named Penny Hoare.’Nuf said.
People always fear the unknown.
They’d much rather spend countless time and mindless energy hating, than they would learning.
Cheers!
