China Plans Crackdown on Funeral Strippers
The Chinese Ministry of Culture is preparing an attack on the habit of inviting strippers to funerals in the country, a move intended to bolster the apparent popularity of the deceased by ensuring more people turn up to mourn. The practise is rooted in cultural reasons, apparently, with superstitions believing that a well attended funeral is more likely to mean a successful spot in the afterlife for the deceased, even if all attendees are stifling erections while completely unaware of who the dead person in the box is.
