Calling the dead names

Does anyone feel weird calling dead people on TV bad names? I'm watching reruns of celebrity big brother and I cannot stand Pete Burns. When he's on TV spouting his bullshit I find myself speaking to the TV telling him to f**k off you (insert name of your choice here). And then I remember he's dead and worry he'll haunt me lol

No offence to any PB fans!

I regularly tell people what a witch my grandma was! Then I hope she's not looking down at me from heaven (or hell!) cursing all my male heirs!

I always thought Pete Burns was a bit of a twat.

I would find a more interesting pastime.

My mother was awful to me, cruel doesn't even cover it.
Whilst l don't proactively walk around now she's dead telling everyone how awful she was l will correct anyone who says how much l must miss her or says she was a good mum etc.
Amazing how many relatives are horrified by this but not by the physical and mental abuse l suffered at her hands for all those years.
'Oh but she's dead now' they wail. 'You can't speak ill of the dead'
