"Monolithic" pop culture references #11

Ever searching for news about Rapa Nui, this blog's administrator comes across many references to Rapa Nui and its famous moai. Often, these references are quite comical and have nothing to do with the island or the culture of Rapa Nui. Other times, they appear to be speculative, based more on misconceptions than reality, or downright bizarre. Here are some of the more recent references:

United Rant:
Sadly though it won't be the last time we see O'Shea in the centre of the park, nor his love-child on the wing, nor Easter Island Head at left back despite the overwhelming evidence that these players are not, have never been and will never be good enough for the club.

Olive Press:
Not that he's a miserable person when you get to know him - far from it - but the faces of the Easter Island statues are positively mirthsome in comparison to his.

Des Moines Register:
Derrick Ogden's art students are working on challenging projects. Eighth-graders are completing their Moai cedar sculptures in homage to the monolithic sculptures found on Easter Island.
