I do think the particularly exaggerated nature of a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be in poor taste, especially given the other disparities between the diseases. Your argument is one I am certain the Mods have thought about, but it is my opinion that at its most fundamental aspect, zombies (especially for Z-Day) are barely about disease, but rather having fun throwing angry people with biting problems at your enemies. Admittedly, our zombies do seem to draw from the more modern sense of zombies as becoming so from outside vectors as opposed to simply rising from the dead in the tradition of folk tales and the early portrayals of zombies in literature and film.

Still.

I want to watch my enemies drown as they are eaten alive by their own people.

Is that so wrong?
