'Marrying' a celeb in the other world

Qing Ming festival (the Chinese All Souls Day) is around the corner!

A creative businessman in China has come out with a replica marriage certificate for the afterworld, endorsed by the 'United Nations'.

For only 50 yuan (RM25), one can marry off a dead family member or friend to a celebrity.

A copy of the replica marriage certificate, containing names, particulars and photos of the couple, would be issued.

The certificate will then be burnt to the departed "bride" or "bridegroom".

According to Chutian Metro Daily, the document was seized from a stall selling paper replicas for the dead in Hubei.

It was among other paraphernalia including bungalows, cars, mistresses, personal doctors and nurses, displayed at the stall.

The daily's reporter observed that the stall had prepared a list of "celebrity brides" for their customers. Among them were Maggie Cheung Man-yuk, Jolin Tsai, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears.

China Industry and Commerce Law enforcement officer said the stall was raided for intellectual property infringement.

武汉祭祀用品惊现阴间结婚证 50元联姻女星

(楚天都市报) （记者张乐克通讯员东工）花50元便可与女明星扯上一张“阴间结婚证”。眼下，江城部分祭品市场兴起一股恶俗之风，令人侧目。

　　昨日，记者与工商执法人员在石门峰公墓看到，祭祀用品五花八门，从轿车、别墅到私人医生、二奶等应有尽有。令人啼笑皆非的是，路边一个流动摊点竟大肆叫卖“明星结婚证”，称花50元可与“蔡依林”扯证。

　　记者看到，这些所谓阴间结婚证，完全依葫芦画瓢（如右图），上面登记机关、登记日期、照片、身份证号码等信息一应俱全，而对象都是一些中外明星，如“张曼玉”、“蔡依林”、“Blanne”等。结婚证上还打出联合国批准字号，并贴着各种美女大头照，且都是“90后”。

　　在公墓外侧的商铺内，还有大量别墅、汽车扎纸出售，其中还有不少人形扎纸，贴着美女照片，上面标注着“二奶”字样。

　　工商执法人员表示，这些用品不仅不文明，而且涉嫌侵权，当场予以收缴。

　　采访中，一些市民表示，硬把“二奶”、“明星结婚证”等不伦不类之物献祭祖先，是对祭祀活动的糟蹋，是拿先人开涮。
