Is it really ok?

For some reason I recently started getting Glamour magazine in the mail. I did not order it, and have not received a bill for it, but regardless I have received two issues so far. It seems to me that they should name it Ad magazine because it seems that over half the magazine is ads and at least 1/4 of those are ads for prescription medicines of some sort.
So I just flip through it quick and then put it in a pile to send home with my mom next time she visits. As I was flipping through the recent issue, April 2010, a one page article caught my eye, it is titled Hey, its Ok! and appears in the Men,Love & Life section and is the 100% guilt free page. I believe the point is to provide some comic relief. Two of the entries are "Hey, its ok to dress all in black on opening day because Derek Jeter get engaged" and "Hey, its ok if your mom still gets you an Easter basket-because you ask her to." Funny, but realistically harmless. However, one particular entry that caught my attention, it was "Hey, its ok to despise a name because some girl who tortured you way back when had it." My question is, is it really?
I don't know how many of us have heard someone say "I would never name my child ( ) because there was a kid in my class with that name and I hated them." I know I have. Or better yet, have you ever heard someone put everyone with the same name in the same category. Such as "All Greg's are assholes. I dated one when I was 18 and he turned out to be the biggest jerk ever." Is this fair to the Greg that lives down the street and is hard working, nice and generous. I do not think so.
I know the article is meant to be funny, a little satire on the authors part, trying to point out how immature and prejudicial such a notion can be, but unfortunately it is all to real. Hopefully soon we can come together as a nation to end prejudice and stereotypes for all.
