A Taiwan politician's funeral procession included 50 pole dancers standing atop multicolored Jeeps. Former Chiayi County Council Speaker Tung Hsiang passed away in December. He was 76. His funeral took place in Chiayi County on Tuesday, according to local media.
[B]Tung's son said his father appeared in a dream and told him he wanted his memorial to be "hilarious,"[/B] according to CNN affiliate SET TV. The procession featured the dancers, traditional totems, drummers, imported luxury cars, and flag bearers -- an homage to the politician's apparent love of crowded places.

This is how I want my funeral to go :fap:
Everyone jokes about this sort of funeral for themselves but relatives rarely back it up when you finally check out. This is hilarious.

wow
taiwan, more like [B][U]TAIWAN #1 [/U][/B]
I wonder how the family would be able to explain this to their family friends and relatives who didn't go to that funeral...
Considering that this is a common thing in TW.
Imagine the fact that these girls are probably hired by a company that specializes in giving pole dances to funerals.
Amazing.

Either that or the pole dancers' business cards say that they can be booked "for any occassion" :v:

Remember seeing something like this in "Moaning of life"
We as a society have officially become parodies of ourselves.

I mean, I guess, if you feel like different cultures are "parodies"
I always wanted to imagine I'd be able to save up money for my funerals and ask my best mates / family members to just organise something that isn't designed be all sad and shit, I want to look down on some jolly motherfuckers not a group of sad people.

Isn't it actually quite common to have pole dancers and things at funerals here? "The Moaning of Life" made it seem like an everyday occurrence to hire dancers and mourners.

How does it feel to have a new stereotype?

"Were there any special requests for the funeral?"
"Yeah actually... you know it's no big deal if you can't arrange this, I don't expect it'll be possible. Uhhh... how do I put this? He requested it in his will... you know what? Forget it actually, it was a joke anyway."
"What was the request?"
"He wanted fifty pole dancers in the procession."
"No problem, I know just the girls. We get requests like this all the time."

Has Karl Pilkington singlehandedly created a new international stereotype? That's quite impressive, really.

I mean, there ARE worse national stereotypes to have than funeral pole dancers. India for example gets gang rape and curry, America gets obesity and rednecks. I'm sure we'd be happy to trade with you if it were possible.

How is curry a bad stereotype

I never said Curry was BAD, it's just not better than funeral pole dancers.
