OTV: Celeb Deaths Attract Bad Taste

OrangeTV: One unfortunate thing I've learned with all the celebrity deaths in the last week is how tacky and disrespectful people can be. It surprises and saddens me when people who I thought were above such bad taste actually go there. Call me crabby or oversensitive, but can we at least wait until the bodies are cold in the ground before we start ripping on them? Sheesh.

Question: You're not suppose to speak ill of the dead, according to an old adage. But does that apply to celebrity deaths, too?
