"American Girl" Rebecca Rubin Doll Accidentally Named After Eco-Terrorist

ABC News:

Rubin, 36 years old, is also known as "Little Missy." She is listed as "armed and dangerous" by the FBI for her alleged involvement in groups that led two of the biggest eco-crimes in U.S. history -- the 1998 bombing of a Vail, Colo., ski resort and a 2001 explosion at an Oregon power plant.

Ha, ha, would be funny if it were true that's who she's named after.

God. America is one stupid country.

I'm sure there's more than one "Rebecca Rubin" in the world. Maybe the doll was named after one of the other ones. (Insert eye-roll here)

Badass dolls. What''s next?

Ouch, first Jewish American Girl doll shares the same name as a criminal!

Eh, well regardless of this story (a simple mistake/unawareness on the part of the AG company IMO), I always thought the AG franchise was overrated. Thank god I only enjoyed a few of the books as a child. I can't remember those dolls being so unjustly expensive. I mean, $95 for a DOLL? Really?

What has the doll ever done to try to save the planet? Nothing!! it just sits there looking surprised that she can't breathe. ARREST that complacent, good for nothing piece of plastic and put her on the no-fly list and give her to one of your children to torture her. NOW THAT'S AMERICAN!!

I think Mattel planned this all along, a doll that's also a notorious criminal. That you can sell a doll for $95 IS criminal.

That doll costs $95. Back in the day you could buy a tenement for that kind of money.

I think they need to arrest the doll!

So when some obscure criminal has a generic nickname, you can't use that nickname anymore? Could someone please rob a bank with the name "Nana"?
