Came across this interesting news article from the BBC. They reported that they are going to ban a local rural tradition of hiring strippers at funerals.
Why strippers at funerals? Well the local people in Donghai believes the more people that attends one's funeral, the more honoured that one will be in the sending off to the after-life.
But where's the honour in that? Just because a bunch of sex-craved drunk passer-bys attends your funeral, does that make you more honourable? Man, I swear, although I love my heritage, there's are also something which makes you think again. I certainly don't want a stripper at my funeral to attract people who I don't know in my sending off!
But my mates in UK may disagree and think otherwise. Maybe this will catch on in other places and become fashionable?
