He was emblazoned with a mysterious message from the deep: 'No real than you are'.

We are all as real as him.

it's an art/statement thing.
He's called Ego Leonard, his site (bandwidth exceeded at the moment) is http://www.egoleonard.com/ and he was seen at dance music festival Dance Valley earlier.
He says he's from a virtual world and he's become curious about real life after meeting adventurers and power-drunk people's avatars online. His mission: shouldn't we be taking care and enjoying the beautiful things in our real world instead of trying to create an ideal world online?

I agree with Ego Leonard: the best way to create a beautiful real world is to toss large plastic objects into the sea.

He wasn't tossed into the sea, he was left on the beach overnight to make it look like he stranded.

(ok ok, they saw him floating, but they left him there just as the tide came in, they knew he wasn't going to float off into the sea)
