Umm meme images meet that definition perfectly. "594 would have prevented that" is a meme. Putting those same words on a picture of a disaster area is a meme. Michael Jackson eating popcorn is a meme... if you don't identify with a meme image, then it's probably not meant for your particular type of audience. Just because you were able to cite a couple of examples of random pictures with words on them that do fit the traditional meme definition does not mean that all random pictures with words on them are memes.

Such observation. Many words. Much misconception. Wow. A random image with words isn't a meme. But an image with words can be a meme image. Does that help? I'm mobile, otherwise I'd reply with nothing but memes.
