Chinese Burning Paper Viagra in Honor of The Dead

Paper Viagra Sold in CHinaBurning fake money, car, villa and applice for the beloved ones passed away on the traditional Tombsweeping Festival (or Qing Ming Jie, April 5 every year) in China is not strange to me, as I usually also did for my grandfather and elder uncle when I was still living there. But I really can't help feel ridiculous on the fact that nowadays people there begin burning fake viagra for dead relatives (in an intention to let them enjoy sex in the afterlife).
Cemeteries in China are selling paper replicas of Viagra, which are to be burned for dead relatives so they can have sex in the afterlife, state media reported today.

According to the Nanjing Morning News, the paper Viagra is being snapped up by customers, along with images of condoms and heavily made-up bar girls, who are women employed by bars to act as companions to male customers and make them spend a lot of money.
