Wii For The Dead

by Patrick on May 6th, 2007

The Chinese has a tradition to burn incense paper or joss paper for the ancestors or the deceased in funerals. It is believed that the dead can recieve the joss paper or ghost money after they are burned.

In Taiwan, the Nintendo Wii has been made into a joss paper model. The joss paper Wii package consists of the Wii console, the Wii Remote (Wiimote), one Nunchuk attachment, external power adapter and a 3-game Wii Sports paper DVD. The whole paper Wii package will be burned so that the deceased can enjoy the hottest video gaming, even in hell.
