In China, it's pretty common for someone to burn paper at a funeral or for their ancestors, allowing the transition of Earthly goods to make it to the deceased beyond. Whether it be money or other such things, the tradition is one that has been around for a long time. Why does this apply to us here, who love the Wii more than anything else? Someone has gone and made a joss paper Wii package and took the time to capture the ritual on video.
Head on past the break to check it out.

So she won the game show, and as a prize they're going to kill her, and allow her to die and be burned with her purse and Wii? That's all I got out of that...

Sorry, parts of that were redundant... I was busy watching the video and writing my impressions. :-)

Those would be their traditions... And I'm dying here, waiting for a Wii.
Ironic, doesn't it? =/

I'm pretty sure that's Japan and not China...

Um. No, that's definitely not Japan. The language sounds like mandarin to me, not Japanese.
