There's a funny threat in Tagalog, "Gusto mong ma-dyaryo?! O Matakpan ng dyaryo?!" (Do you want to be in the papers or be covered in newspapers?)
When there's an accident here, the best and most immediate way people 'sanitize' the crime scene is by covering up the blood, gore & dead bodies with sheets of old newspaper. No kidding.
I'm actually laughing at this anecdote. Our driver who used to be a taxi driver witnessed a gory car accident. The injured person was still breathing when an officious by-stander stepped in with a stack of newspapers & started covering the person. He actually had to yell, "Hoy! Stop it! The person's still alive, moron!"
