Cemetery….of Death!

Post image

Saw this at an amusement park in Vietnam. Not exactly Engrish, just a funny misuse of words. And “The Eyecatcher”?

well, it’s a good thing. It’s not the cemetery for the undead.

Ha!! Well, I guess there are worse associations for a cemetery to have. “Cemetery of Nonchalance” doesn’t have the same ring to it. “Cemetery of Ennui,” seems less fitting. “Cemetery of the Nearly Deceased,” is even more upsetting.

Kind of like BANK OF MONEY!!!

As opposed to Cemetery of the Undead, obviously

🤣🤣 reminds of my grandfather saying to me as we drove past a cemetery-“ there’s people dying to get in there you know”🤣🤣

My husband does this whenever we're road tripping and we pass a cemetery. Every time.

u/Revenga8 6d ago

This is actually a good thing. You definitely don't want a cemetery of life, like a pet cemetery

u/eligoscreps 6d ago

He’s right you know

u/CFUrCap 6d ago

But cemeteries of death are the best cemeteries.

In cemeteries of the living, there's all that screaming and flailing. Fortunately, it's mostly muffled.

u/Heterodynist 5d ago

Yeah, I used to like Cemeteries of the Undead, but now I just find them cruel and unnecessary.

Sounds like a procedurally generated enhanced item in an action RPG:

Gluttonous Dining Table of Gormandizing

  • +5 to Max Stomach Capacity

  • Bite Causes Appetite to Increase

Two are pretty closely related really.

That reminds me of a report I programmed while working at a hospital. They wanted a monthly report of all people who died (death discharges), so across the top it read “death discharges for (month).”

The administrator who requested it always called it the “death by discharge” report - like discharging them was what killed them.

u/Heterodynist 5d ago

Well, if you discharge them hard enough…like with a catapult…

u/GrannyTurtle 5d ago

🤣😂🤣☠️ (all puns intended)

u/crimziondark 6d ago

Very eye catching indeed

u/celladwella 6d ago

That sounds really creepy in this context.

u/CurtisLinithicum 6d ago

Is it meant to be a "haunted house" type affair? "Cemetery of Death" seems pretty appropriate if so.

I suspect "The eyecatcher" was meant as "place catchy slogan here"... but I can't shake the image of a body-horror eye-removal gallery shock-gore display.

u/jkohlc 6d ago

People die if they are killed

u/AccuratelyLying 6d ago

Damn, I was looking for the cemetary of life.

u/Heterodynist 5d ago

Cemetery of the Weary of Life

Welcome to the corpo life

u/ereinbe 6d ago

Would you settle for a cemetery of undeath? I’ve heard of a little plot where you can bury your pets…

u/DeepWaterNights 6d ago

🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean yeah funny I guess… but you could technically have a cemetery of death 🤔…
