World of Warcraft: "Double Standard"

There's a lot of chatter about the current "zombie plague" world event sweeping through WoW. Some folks like it because it's a change from the norm. Some folks hate it because it's not a situation you can always just opt out of.
Me? I'm torn. I love zombies. You all know that. But I got turned into a zombie while I was out away from the healers that will cure you. So I had to self-terminate to get out from under the disease. It was annoying. But, I could see where it might be fun IN the cities. Apparently on some servers folks have banded together in a zombie horde and taken all of Stormwind, Lakeshire, and Goldshire.
Now, an aspect that amuses me is that the Undead can be turned as well. It's a game, I won't bother pondering the scientific dynamic of that occurance other than to say it seems a bit redundant. I have to assume however, within the context of the game, that the existing Undead can't be happy with the idea of getting turned into a lesser undead being. I don't play Undead myself so I can't be certain. It's just a guestimate. But the idea of the Undead berating the undead amuses me.
