How far should small business go?

This week's news about Osama Bin Laden has sent many a small business scurrying to cash in on the killing.

What immediately came to mind was: are they entrepreneurial or exploitive? I'm a big believer in small business siezing the moment, but I came across a Rueters article, which lists the small businesses that are making a motsa out of the American fervour we've seen in recent days.

You name it, they're doing it: from Uncle Sam T-shirts printed with the words "We Got You Osama Bin Laden" to an Osama Bin Laden "Shot in the Dark" coffee special.

The question is: how far should small business go? How much misery should they wade around in just to make a fast buck?

You decide.
