    Probably just viral marketing for the new James Bond film.

    "You're mad! You can't float volcanic rock all around the pacific rim in order to cause seismic activity and destabilise the global economy! You'll never get away with it!"

    "I think you'll find I'm quite sane Mr. Bond, and I'm getting away with it right...about... *presses red button* ...NOW!!"

    Yes I have, they are big and white and look like cliffs with sea at the bottom and grass at the top.
