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?

	Personally? I'd wait a year at least. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What if someone's already using a PB and they pass on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd personally ask the person to change the PB, but if no one is really bothered by it, I don't think it's a big issue. I mean it's already kinda creepy to use PBs to begin with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The issues of PBs is a whole different can of worms, but I can see the logic in the rest. (Reply to this) (Parent)
