Most would think funerals would be solemn for the dead, but a funeral in China turned into a striptease.
According to a Chinese portal site, 163.com, a photo, titled “Vulgar party at a funeral in Chinese village,” was posted. In the picture, showgirls in indecent clothes were touching, hugging and dancing with the mourners while performing.
As local villagers believe that the dead person is honored more if more people attend the funeral, “funeral striptease” has been secretly held routinely to attract more condolers.
Strippers scraping to make a living after China banned strip shows pervaded into funerals as the family of the dead wanted more mourners.
Chinese officials started cracking down on these shows five years ago, rewarding those who report such funerals.
“The vulgar shows continue to be performed from the perception that there is more honor when more people come to the funerals,” a Chinese media outlet reported. “The government has ordered an end to the practice, making families of the dead report the procedures of the funerals. The practice should end soon.”
