    China sets up anonymous snitch-line to report strippers at funerals

    The Chinese Minister of Culture has launched a campaign in Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Hebei provinces to end the practice of hiring strippers to draw crowds to funerals -- these crowds are seen as a mark of respect and status for the departed that epitomizes the virtue of "filial piety," regardless of how they are brought in.

    The practice was created by funeral directors, after a string of less transgressive crowd-drawing innovations (comedians, actors, singers) and has since been banned by the state as "cultural atavism" and "corrupting the social atmosphere."

    In viral videos, strippers touch themselves rub the crotches of men who come onstage, all in front of an oversized portrait of the deceased. Five troupes of exotic funeral dancers have been detained in Donghai county, Jiangsu Province.

    China has a really screwed up culture to begin with so I am not surprised.

    Leave it to the Chinese government to make it illegal though.

    I just hate it when the countryside is fully corroded and gets invaded by low culture and vulgar elements.

    It's a damn shame.

    So, will James Harden's funeral have strippers performing?

    Jimmy Valvano called it. Every day you should be moved to tears, laugh, be happy, and think. That's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week. You're going to have something special.
