China takes all the fun out of funerals

[Pixelated]

a/k/a Chinese authorities are cracking down on WHAT?!?

See, I can understand entertainment at a funeral, especially if the person had a particular thing that you want to remember them by (for example, if they were a cricket fan, you might all crowd around and watch the T20). But strippers?!

Apparently one major factor in funerals in many areas of China -- especially rural areas -- is the number of people who turn out for them. The more people, the more respect the family feels has been shown to the dead.

So if you let the surrounding countryside know there'll be strippers ...

from the article:

Strippers are also sometimes hired for weddings and temple fairs.

I thought that was meant to be for the Bachelor/ette party...not the wedding itself!
