"Monolithic" pop culture references #32
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:

Beacon News:
The show, which aired on the PAX network, took an Unsolved Mysteries approach to topics like Bigfoot and Easter Island, and mixed in Biblical stories and other spiritual tales.
