Raghuvansh’s question continues the GQ marathon, earning him the shiny . This question had us stumped, so here’s hoping the rest of you will do better! (The question has been modified slightly)

Identify this man - who played a controversial role in a 2004 movie - and the meme associated.

The BB Guest Question Marathon 2010

—srikanth @ February 13, 2010

Of late we’ve had a huge number of questions pouring in from all corners. It’s really great to see this kind of interest in tech quizzing in general and Boiledbeans especially! To keep the momentum up, we’ve decided to host a guest question marathon. For the next few days (till we run out of questions in the queue) we are going to post only questions that you’ve asked.

So, here’s the first of the marathon, from shenoyvarun86 - GQHero!.

What’s this all about?

Would you like to keep the marathon going for longer? Send in your questions to [email protected]! There’s a trophy to be had for each guest question you send us! Also, if you’d like us to link to your blog or some site, indicate that along with your question and we’ll definitely add a link (Spreading the love on V-day? Har!)

udupendra san has hit 600 points! Awesome sire! This medal is yours . Also, this question comes from him.

Who wore this, where (recently) , what does it do?

P.S: sidsen has an undisclosed gripe about GQHero trophies, from my guess, it is about awarding trophies to old guest questions.. It is hard to apply those trophies to older questions, so, the case is under discussion, sire :)

Show Answer

Imogen Heap wore a ‘Twitter dress’ to the Grammies – the dress + clutch combo had a live feed of all tweets with #twitdress tag (via: @udupendra ;) )
