Here's the important part of the story:

"In some respects, a zombie "plague" resembles a lethal, rapidly spreading infection. The researchers say the exercise could help scientists model the spread of unfamiliar diseases through human populations."

So it's not all just for fun. It still is a little silly, and the guy with the question mark in his name isn't helping things. But it's not entirely pointless.
