China wages war on funeral strippers
Telegraph ^ | 2/20/18 | Neil Connor

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."

I have a question but don’t want to know the answer. If it’s a woman’s funeral do the Chippendale guys attend?

Maybe Marco Rubio on a side gig?

Heh, “Stripper” in your post reminded me of the fishing message boards I hang out on. When Stripers are running someone will mispell it as Strippers and then all heck breaks loose in the comments.

I just looked up and played the song containing your lyric line there, and discovered that the beat in that song matches that dancing graphic beat.   (Check for yourself!)       :-)

Okay, there are some strange things in China, like the woman who threw coins into a jet engine of an airliner for “good luck”, or the woman who decided to see what the inside of an airport luggage X-ray machine looks like.

But...”funeral strippers”?

"...Gosh, we usually just take a covered dish to the house..."

Hmmm...that sounds vaguely erotic.

Yes, the ‘highlights’ of small town (?) Catholicism was Polish Weddings or Irish Funerals.

Generally a ‘good time’ had by all.

Kind of like the Newby at the Mining camp and the BNGs supervisor said,
“I want to invite you to a get together Fri to welcome you to camp. There will be a lot of booze, fighting, sex, fighting, more sex and oh yes, probably some sex”
“Wow sounds like fun, what time is everyone showing up?”
“Oh, this one is just you and me, I will introduce you the rest of the gang on Monday”
