Chinese Government Issues Statement, Stop Hiring Strippers For Funerals

Making a will today, I wants strippers at my funeral.

Funerals are always a real downer. I am a fan of the funerals that embrace the persons life and not their death. Kind of where you remember the good times you had with the person that is no longer with us. Well China is taking this to a whole new level by adding strippers.

Now the problem China has with these funerals is that children are being present for the 'show'. Which I can see how that could traumatize a young kid. Hey, one of my family members is dead. Oh hey, boobs.

The strippers violated public security regulations, with the person responsible for the performing troupe in question detained administratively for 15 days and fined 70,000 yuan (about $11,300), the statement said. The government condemned such performances for corrupting the social atmosphere.

The reason people are bringing strippers to funerals is to get people to actually show up. It's seen as a harbinger of good fortune in the afterlife. “It’s to give them face,” one villager explained. “Otherwise no one would come.

Nothing more depressing that no one showing up to your funeral. Sex sells, but the funeral market I did not think this rule applied to. I expect a stripper pole right next to my casket people.
