MOON FESTIVAL FEATURING...STRIPPER?

Can someone explain this to me?  Warning: NSFW (not safe for work people). I'm not judging.  I don't condone some notion of universality or ethnocentrism and I subscribe to cultural relativism on matters such as this, but that said I still don't really understand this:

FATHER'S WISH FOR STRIPPER AT HIS FUNERAL FULFILLED

An old Taiwanese man was promised a stripper at his funeral if he lived to be at least 100 years old.  Sadly, he passed away at the age of 103 (dying en route to the voting booth), but not for naught as the stripper promise that all boys wish for was granted.

His son, Cai Ruigong, told the newspaper that he had paid more than $170 for the stripper to dance around the coffin at the funeral.

"He would travel around the island with his friends to see these [strip] shows," Ruigong said.

According to reports, the exotic dancer performance at the funeral lasted 10 minutes.
