Yes I have read the paper. It seems like a lot of pandering to 4chan and /pol/. It's a clear example of an effort troll for the lulz.

Err, try polling even the American population and see how many know about the existence of 4chan. It is NOT at the forefront of the world's collective mind.

By whom?

Really? A sarcastic/jokey remark in a caption for no reason at all.
They have also embedded overtly racist images throughout the paper, which I'm not sure were necessary. This is another clear example of 4chan trolling: embed racist or offensive or funny imagery surrounded by serious sounding stuff so its 'hilarious' to watch someone discuss it seriously.
I've been on 4chan since 2005 and pretty much grew up on it. This is just so obvious. In fact, I'm not even saying this isn't real data and actual work. I totally believe someone went through the effort of doing this work just so they can get "normies" to read through the paper and laugh when people take it seriously.
Also, I've noticed that this .pdf crashes my Android Acrobat reader as well as my Chrome PDF reader. I would check for embedded scripts or weird stuff going on in this PDF.
