I think it's worthwhile to separate out intentions, plans, actions, and consequences for this definition. If you see memes as intentions or plans, it's odd to see a meme touted as being a consequence ("if you see this bitmap, you will die") rather than an intention or plan that leads to a consequence ("if you slit your wrists, you will die"). The latter obviously exist, the former seem like a definition error.
