Question on PB etiquette.
This is possibly a sensitive subject, but we've been discussing this for a few months now and haven't really come up with a decisive opinion, so I was hoping it's okay to ask for people to weigh in here (if not, I'm terribly sorry).

How long do you figure it's respectful to wait after an actor, actress, musician, model, etc. passes away before it's acceptable to PB them? I know there are some people who still get upset at seeing Heath Ledger PBed in a game, so what would you recommend in an event like this? Similarly, what is the best course of action to take if someone you're currently using as a PB happens to pass away?
