Recently, an anti-Semite who named his child Adolf Hitler (Adolf Hitler Campbell) went to Shop Rite to have a birthday cake made up with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADOLF HITLER" on it, along with a swastika. Shop Rite refused. He then went to Wal-Mart and they agreed to do it. (Or so the story goes.)
I'm wondering if anyone else has heard this on the news, and what you think of it -- especially in light of Wal-Mart's commendable decision to remove the pro-Islam dolls from their shelves. Should they have refused to make the cake? Does it matter? I'm not suggesting it doesn't, I'm just not sure what the real ramifications are. On the one hand, I would like to throw this guy a beating. On the other, making the cake for him with the ant-Semitic sentiments drawn in frosting is not the same as selling an anti-Semitic product.
