Stripteases at Chinese Funerals - Sort of Trumps the Eulogy
Looks like strippers are beginning to replace the fine art of pole dancing with casket dancing in China!
According to the Shanghai Daily, it is common practice in Donghai (insert lame joke here) to have women perform stripteases at funerals. Locals believe that the greater the number of mourners at your final send off, the greater your worth.
So what better way to attract people then to have naked women yanking off the trousers of male funeral goers? It sure as hell beats weeping in the aisles. Some of the strippers will even go so far as to bathe in public or perform nude with snakes! I wonder if the dancers get a bonus if they manage to give the stiff a stiffy?

no…..that’s not from a chinese funeral, that’s from a taiwanese wedding. The Chinese may have strippers at their funerals for the same reasons as at their weddings, but that’s certainly not one of them. The image is from http://www.islaformosa.com/
I can’t find that image from the site anymore, however here is another, similar page from the same source:
