"Monolithic" pop culture references #21

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 they are just downright bizarre. Here are some of the more recent references:

BBC News, Newswire.co.nz, MI6 News:
Daniel Craig had a face "like an Easter Island statue" and makes "a terrific debut [as James Bond]", it added.

NZ Herald:
Accused benefit fraudster hid $1m in home and garden ... a garden with more than $50,000 worth of plants, including rare palms, and pathways leading past marble seats and faux Easter Island heads.
