Body of Rosa Parks in act of civil disobedience

Matthew writes: The body of Rosa parks arrived today at the Capitol Rotunda-an exclusive “men’s only” Washington area mausoleum, where it lay defiantly in honor, refusing to move. The Capitol Rotunda, historically reserved exclusively for the bodies of dead men, was abuzz in activity as first the custodial staff and then the Secret Service attempted to convince or coerce the defiant late Ms. Parks to leave without causing a scene.
The former Ms. Parks would not even acknowledge the attempts, remaining proudly in state without dignifying their efforts with a response. Having apparently learned from the last time Ms. Parks refused to budge, the government quickly jumped on the bandwagon, opening the doors of the Rotunda to visitors and dignitaries wishing to pay their respects.

I'm sure Rosa would have loved it. Besides, bad taste is our specialty!

I don't think bad taste is your speciality. Hasn't been your mainstay in the past.

I suppose I just aspire to bad taste. But frankly, I don't think this article is offensive, I just think people have different levels of comfort with the dead. I've got a lot of dead friends, so I can say that.

Someone doubts the depths to which taste can be taken on this forum? Matthew knows no nadir. You have been warned.
