China is ordering an end to the practice of employing strippers to attract crowds at funerals, the state news service has reported.

Local tradition suggests bigger attendances at send-offs bring good fortune to the spirits of the dead.

But complaints after state television exposed the practice at a funeral in Donghai county, Jiangsu province, have forced the authorities to act, according to Xinhua news agency.

Watched by a crowd of 200 mourners including children, two strippers engaged by the family of a dead farmer gave what the local media described as an "obscene performance." Five people were subsequently arrested as the government demanded an end to the practice across the country.

A telephone hotline has been established to gather reports of any further funeral misbehaviour.

"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country."

Remember the line from the Rolling Stones hit from 1981, "Start Me Up"? You make a dead man come...

Or this from Sonny Boy Williamson's "Eyesight to the Blind":

I remember one Friday morning,
We was lying down across the bed
Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying
And lift up his head, and said,
"Lord, ain't she pretty,
And the whole state know she fine!"

Words fail me. But in a funny, and somewhat good way.

What's that Mr. Nipples? You want me to ask the nice lady about her rack?.
