"Monolithic" pop culture references #37

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:

MercuryNews.com:
But do people really know much about Manning, beyond recognizing the No. 18, and the profile that looks like an Easter Island statue?

Sportingo:
My Easter island: The virtual world of a Wycombe Wanderers fan

Express:
It is impossible to care which coach wins. Both
Lovie Smith of the Bears and Tony Dungy of the Colts are personality-devoid robots who are as unfamiliar with emotion as they are with space travel. It's like asking which Easter Island stone figure is more compelling.
