Do you get the impression that whomever wrote this didn't quite grasp the meaning of 'immortal' and cemetary?

There are so many good ones there it's hard to pick a favorite. Although I'm rather fond of that one that reads "tired of cleaning yourself, let me do it for you". I could really 'buy' into that one if the 'cleaner' were someone like ....well we won't go there. But you get my drift.
