How far can indecency go for the dead?

Margaret Thatcher instills the best and worst of emotions. You either love or hate her. To some she was a hero and to others she reaped havoc upon the working classes.
At the recent TUC conference party packs were on sale to celebrate her death whenever that may be. The packs included balloons, fireworks and t-shirts have been a sell out success.

How far can you go before you cross the line into indecency?
I personally would buy a pack because of the shock value and future retail value but no matter my feelings for the woman i would never wear the t-shirt as it does appear to be in poor taste.
What are your views? What if it was the same thing but for George Bush for example?

The first thing that came to mind when I saw your post was "The Iron Lady". Although I live in the U.S., some world leaders have put sour tastes in my mouth and I still remember them. Margaret Thatcher is not one of them. I remember her as being a strong figure. I've witnessed the lengths Haters go through to attack someone they hate. I witness it daily with President Obama, Jessie J, and some others. I hated the latest President Bush, and Reagan. But I don't hate them that much in a manner that would make me do something like you mention. People really need to TRY to get a life.
