I think it's kind of clever. To me, the point is that the people there at Wal-mart, at the checkout counter with all the celebrity gossip magazines, put Angelina Jolie in the position of the Mother of God.

I agree with your sentiment. It's saying that many people have substituted the culture of celebrity for God. It's a statement about modern day idolatry.

It's funny that the artist seems to have bought into the "sanctification":

her 'unattainable' beauty and the good that she is doing in the world through her example
