Russ Cargill speaking to the people of Springfield

Q. Albert Brooks is an American actor, voice actor, writer, comedian, and director whose Hollywood film debut was in Martin Scorsese's landmark, Taxi Driver and later received an Academy Award nomination in 1987 for his role in the romantic-comedy film, Broadcast News. His voice acting credits include Marlin the clownfish in Finding Nemo, and recurring guest voices for the animated television series The Simpsons, including the evil Russ Cargill in The Simpsons Movie.

But he wasn't always Albert Brooks. Born with a different name, it was only when he was 19 that he gained his current name after changing his name from X, an event that he explains ‘to sound more intelligent’.

What’s X or what's his original name?

Q. A Jolly Roger formed from the silhouette of a Compact Cassette along with the words "And It's Illegal" (as depicted in the picture) was the logo of an iconic 1980s anti-copyright infringement campaign by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), a British music industry trade group who promulgated their campaign with a catchy slogan "Home Taping Is Killing Music" as they feared that people being able to record music from the radio onto cassettes would cause a decline in record sales.
Funnily enough, the "Home Taping Is Killing Music" logo is a striking feature in the logo of one of the most popular and controversial internet file-sharing website, even though it completely defies the ethics of the campaign, thereby creating an interesting specimen of irony. Which website am I talking about?

Q. Simple. Which famous chocolate has been recently announced to be affiliated to this list of already irresistible munchies?

Q. X IS AN INDIAN ACTRESS KNOWN FOR HER BOLD ON-SCREEN ATTITUDE AND HAS FREQUENTLY FEATURED IN THE MEDIA FOR HER CONTROVERSIES. SHE HAS, TIME AND AGAIN, BEEN PORTRAYED AS A SEX SYMBOL, SO YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY SEE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HER AND MARILYN. RECENTLY X UPLOADED A VIDEO IN YOUTUBE WHICH WENT VIRAL WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS LEADING TO THE MEDIA PROCLAIMING " X DOES A MARILYN. " WHAT DID SHE DO? FOR WHOM DID SHE DO IT?

OH YES, ACCORDING TO HER, THE PERSON WHOM SHE DID IT FOR IS "THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR" IN TOWN.

Q. THIS IS A VERY AMAZING LIST.

    A SAINT, A PRESIDENT, A SCIENTIST, A BOXER, A POET CUM PAINTER, A COMPOSER,       A PIONEER OF R&B AND A BRITISH KING ARE JUST THE POPULAR ONES IN THIS LIST.

    (THOSE IN THE PICTURES) 

    IN FACT, THIS LIST BOASTS OF HAVING A BRITISH PM WHOSE FAMOUS WORDS ONCE     INSPIRED A BOLLYWOOD SONG, A SERGEANT DECORATED IN WORLD WAR I, 

    AN INFLUENTIAL WORLD WAR II GENERAL WHOSE MILITARY TACTICS HELPED THE         ALLIES WIN THE WAR, A GAY RIGHTS ACTIVIST, AN AMERICAN AUTHOR WHO WAS A     FRIEND OF HARPER LEE, AN AUSTRALIAN CONCERT PIANIST, A THAI KING, AN 

    AFRICAN PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER BRITISH KING OF THE TUDOR DYNASTY. 

    I HAVE "DROPPED" A LOT OF HINTS. YOU NEED TO PICK THEM UP AND TELL WHAT IS     THE LIST ALL ABOUT. WHAT IS THE CONNECTION? THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR. YOU           DON'T EVEN NEED TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING. IT'S ALL THERE. OUT IN THE OPEN.
