    Abstract
    Broadcast Transcript: Bad news. All of you who were counting on having your body taken to China's Jiangsu province in order to have strippers appear at your funeral had better start making other plans. Local officials are working to put an end to this time-honored rural tradition by arresting the performers and by instituting a "funeral misdeeds" hotline which offers rewards for information about illegal graveside nakedness. This crackdown followed a farmer's funeral that attracted 200 people because of its alluring burlesque act. Apparently, striptease has long been a common practice at funerals in Donghai county; it attracts mourners and local villagers believe high funeral attendance numbers means greater honor for the deceased. Or, one might say, the mourn the merrier. Ouch. #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsui
