"Monolithic" pop culture references #20

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:

Matangi Tonga:
Too many things are not even tried in Tonga simply because of timidity, stubbornness and tradition. Should Tonga stay on its current course and be like Easter Island, totally isolated from the rest of the world?

NewsWithViews.com:
To ignore our realities condemns them to the same consequences that befell the civilization and children of Easter Island. It’s that simple and that brutal.
