No, this is not a joke thread.

China Funeral strippers in authorities sights - BBC News

The culture ministry put out a statement condemning as "uncivilised" habit of inviting exotic dancers to induce more people to attend the funeral, the official news agency Xinhua reports. The ministry named two recent examples where strippers had been invited to stage "obscene performances" - one in north China's Hebei Province and another in east China's Jiangsu. In both cases, both organisers and performers have been punished, it said, adding that it will work with police to stamp out the practice.

You can't make this stuff up. Apparently in Chinese culture, the more people that show up at your funeral, the better luck you will have in the afterlife, so the strippers are there to boost attendance...

among other things...

You asked for it, you got it.
