This is another tangential connect question similar to questions 444 and 461. Connect the images. The connect is more closely related to some visuals than to others. This is not an exhaustive list. More hints based on the response.Hint: I just noticed an oversight on my part that might have made the question confusing. The first visual on the top left and the last one on the bottom right really point to the same thing. I meant to include just one of those two and included both by mistake. Hints for other visuals (in order from left to right, top to bottom) - the magazine he appears in, the character portrayed by the actress, the photographer, the novelist whose work the movie is based on and the television character.
Answer: The connect is unusual units of measurement. The visuals in order are a poster for the movie Supersize Me, a documentary about McDonalds, Alfred E. Neumann from Mad magazine, Diane Kruger as Helen of Troy, photo of Elvis by Andy Warhol, a screen shot from the movie Contact, Fonzie from Happy Days and the McDonalds shop in Sedona, Arizona (apparently the only McDonalds with non-yellow arches because turquoise suits the town's red rock). The connect to the theme is as follows - Big Mac index for exchange rates, Potrzebie for length (thickness of the magazine as defined by Donald Knuth), Helen for beauty (1 milliHelen is the amount of beauty enough to launch one ship), Warhol for fame (from the 15 minutes of fame quote), Sagan for 4 billion (from his "billions and billions" quote) and fonzie for coolness. Ramki was the only one to get it before the hint. Raghu, Ramji, Rajesh, Karthik and Matti Tapaninen got it after the hint. Well done.

Humorous units of measurement. Only ones I can identify are Fonzie(coolness), Helen(beauty and Warhol's painting I guess(for fame)
first in a field of one
Damn! Good one ...
Units of measurements:
Big Mac Index (exchange rates)
Potrzebie (thickness of Mad magazine - Knuth)
Sagan (=4 billion for stars)
Helen (scale of beauty)
Warhol (measure of fame)
Fonzie (measure of coolness)
Unusual units of measurements:
Big mac index, millihelen, sagan (4 billion), MegaFonzie(a measure of coolness), warhol(unit of fame)
big-mac index, potrzebie, helen, warhol, sagan & fonzi.
connect: non-standard units of measurements
Unconventional units of measurements
Unususal units of measurement, For Example:
Big Mac Index or Supersize.
Warhol is a unit of fame, Andy Warhol's dictum "everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes".
A MegaFonzie is a fictional unit of measurement of coolness.
Helen of Troy is widely known as the face that launched a thousand ships. Thus, 1 millihelen is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship.
Sagan has been defined as a humorous unit of measurement equal to at least four billion, since the lower bound of a number conforming to the constraint of billions and billions must be two billion plus two billion. Assuming one uses the short scale definition for billion, there are nearly 100 sagan stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
