I’m not sure why this is at io9 but Taiwan’s funeral strippers are in the news . . . see http://io9.com/5819625/in-taiwan-you-can-hire-a-stripper-for-your-funeral for an interview with the film maker responsible for a new documentary on Taiwan’s Electric Flower Music Cars (which he calls EFC, something I’ve never heard them called in over twenty years in Taiwan – they are more commonly called Music Cars or Electric Flower Music Cars).

I used to see a LOT of these at temples and sometimes at weddings or funerals back in the day but after I moved to Taipei there weren’t as many but if you know where to look you can still find them.
