I always saw it as a short way of saying "oh look, that guy we all knew was a moron is acting like a moron again, what a surprise", or whatever other bit of sarcasm having to do with something living up to its reputation you want to communicate.

Do you not like complex ideas to be communicated concisely or something?

I don't get the craze with people online (particularly this forum) lately with people coming into threads and saying

stupid man is stupid
bad troll is bad
cute cat is cute
good bacon is good

WTF is up with this shit? This is just yet another internet trend that I don't get and don't see the value in... Where did this come from?!

Now queue the morons with the "obvious troll is obvious" etc stupid remarks.

Based on this, Y = 1. Man = Troll = Cat = Bacon... well maybe in a Chinese restaurant in the back streets of Kowloon.

Not only "stupid HAL is stupid", but at LEAST 6 months too late. This meme is OLD. Why don't you go and learn the Macarena, or start naming everything with an e in front of it.

Multiplicative property of one is stupid?

No, sand in your ass is stupid. If you fuck on the beach use a towel.
