Although I am not a lawyer (I just play one on tv) I would have to agree with this. Parody is protected and on top of that it does not sound as though you are going to receive money for posting them. With the high number of memes using famous people I would have to say if it was not protected we'd hear all about some asshole celeb bitching about his image being used... Like Chris Hansen(sp)
