Agreed, although they have demonstrated memetic theory (in a way).
I'm not saying they don't demonstrate memetic theory, they most certainly do. The problem is that now, rather than meme being associated with the memetic theory, it's associated with cats saying retarded shit.
It just annoys me that the word has lost all actual meaning. If I as much as mention memes, people either insult me for enjoying Internet memes (which I don't, for the most part), or they start going on about how awesome 9GAG is. It's just a sad affair.
