China has launched its latest crackdown against a phenomenon which just won't seem to die in rural areas - funeral strippers.
The Ministry of Culture said last month that it was targeting "striptease" and other "obscene, pornographic, and vulgar performances" at funerals, weddings and traditional Chinese New Year public gatherings.
The war on strippers at funerals has been a long one for China. Authorities first began clamping down on "obscene" performances in 2006 and launched a second campaign in 2015.
[Snip]"According to the interpretation of cultural anthropology, the fete is originated from the worship of reproduction," media professor Kuang Haiyan said, according to The Global Times. "Therefore the erotic performance at the funeral is just a cultural atavism."

Who are we to judge their culture? We live in a world which is a multicolored tapestry of equally rich traditions. Frankly, these artists should be welcomed here, and moved to the front of the line for American citizenship and DACA amnesty.
To: Skywise
It’s a test to find out if the corpse truly is deceased...

What did the stripper say to the corpse at the funeral?
To: OrangeHoof
The Irish invented that.
Called a wake
If one can ‘sleep’ through all the music, shouting, fights and freshly opened booze they can put one in the ground.
When that time comes around, the revelers will not care if the party dead or not.
