Thousands gather in Taiwan for festive celebrity funeral
New Taipei City
LION dancers and Lamborghinis took part in a massive funeral parade on Tuesday for one of Taiwan's best-loved television stars, known for his crass jokes and trademark bowl haircut. Funerals in Taiwan are famously festive, sometimes even including pole dancers and strippers.
Flamboyant celebrity Chu Ke-liang was loved for his crude humour, and appealed to the masses by incorporating Taiwanese dialect into his shows. He died last month, aged 70, after battling cancer.
