Poor kid

is Stupidity an ideology? this parent that doesn't seem to understand why Adolf Hitler could be an offensive name seems to come from the same kind of cloth as a Sarah Palin.

they have a right to name their kid adolph hitler. they have a right to make their own cake and put hitler on it. they don't have a right to force others in private business to be the instrument through which their message is delivered.

in summary: birthday cake is not a right.

Nicely summarized.

Now I'm off to the local Ralph's supermarket bakery section to see if they'll make me a birthday cake with a big drawing of a penis and a vagina on it....

This sums up my view perfectly.

i feel as though, in the interest of fairness, they should have made the cake as ordered but have a clause that certain things cost extra. like 100 dollars extra

[dubman]

haha you'd put a swastika on a cake for 100 bucks

[gambit]

I'd at least start at five grand for painting a swastika on a cake, personally.
