Connect

      

1 is a guy who featured in one of the recent quizzes I attended.

2 is a film poster

3 is ... well... a guy.

Connect all 3.

Answer

No one got the connect, though pic 1 was identified.

The connect is Yoyodyne.

Thomas Pynchon ( Pic 1) , in The Crying of Lot 49, introduced Yoyodyne - a defense contract company.

The 1984 film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (Pic 2) used the name, as Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, for a corporate defense contracts company. The movie and the company from the movie has had a few pop- culture references.

Seth Godin's (pic 3) first venture was Yoyodyne, which he later sold off to Yahoo. He is believed to have formulated the principles of Permission Marketing with this venture.
