Chinese Government Is Asking People To Please Stop Hiring Strippers For Funerals

WSJ- In China, friends and family of the deceased may have to do without a special form of funereal entertainment: strippers. According to a statement from the Ministry of Culture on Thursday, the government plans to work closely with the police to eliminate such performances, which are held with the goal of drawing more mourners. Pictures of a funeral in the city of Handan in northern Hebei province last month showed a dancer removing her bra as assembled parents and children watched. They were widely circulated online, prompting much opprobrium. In its Thursday statement, the Ministry of Culture cited “obscene” performances in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu, as well as in Handan, and pledged to crack down on such lascivious last rites. The government has been trying to fight the country’s funereal stripper scourge for some time now. In 2006, the state-run broadcaster China Central Television’s leading investigative news show Jiaodian Fangtan aired an exposé on the practice of scantily clad women making appearances at memorial services in Donghai in eastern China’s Jiangsu province.

And this is yet another reason why America is better than China and always will be.  Sure, China may have a booming economy, a trillion people in their army and we owe them a SHIT ton of money.  But let’s talk about the important things like allowing strippers to dance at our funerals.  Because that’s what actually matters.  I didn’t look it up but I’m just gonna assume that’s an okay thing to do here because this is America and not China.  I hope there’s 500 strippers at my funeral and people forget why they’re even there.  The Chinese government is being a bunch of prudes with this.  You know what sucks?  Funerals suck.  Big time suck.  Not only did you lose somebody you at least kinda liked but funerals are also a reminder that one day they’re gonna put you in a hole too.  Talk about depressing.  If there’s one good thing about strippers it’s their ability to make you forget about your problems for a little while.  Whether that be you just got fired or your girlfriend broke up with you or, yes, if your buddy just died in a hang gliding accident.  It’s still mourning, just a different form of mourning.  Instead of crying into a box of tissues, you’re dealing with your emotion by getting motor boated by a stripper named Chastity.
