You think they took that photo?

You know what a meme is, right?

You usually use an image that already exists and add funny or reflective text to it to make it a meme.

They made the meme. By adding the text and putting their handle on it. No reason to go out of your way to remove that.

Yea but they don't own the rights to the original image so they have no right putting their advertising on it.

You should show them by not engaging with memes at all!
