It's disheartening to see the strong negative reactions to this. If human society and culture is worth studying, then "internet culture" is a necessary part of the story. I know from experience that there are multiple distinct communities that orbit the lolcat universe. There's more than enough depth here to warrant academic study.
Live and let live.

It would seem evident that when you have as many people online as we do, and a rather large chunk finds LOLcats and the like really funny, than studying the phenomenon shouldn't be this off putting to so many people.
