About	I realize this may be sacreligious to some (My Mom included), but after reviewing the scene, I just couldn't help myself. It was just so out of place. She was first seen in person on a cold day by a mexican peasant and now can be seen by everyone (everybody does shop at Wal-Mart). I also thought about titling this "Made in China", since that is where this and the other ten thousand statues were made (like most everything else in Wal-Mart).

Yep, in the garden section. I was going to buy one, set it up in my front yard with a couple of candles and a bowl for donations... but visions of my Mom invoking the wrath of God on me were just a bit too powerful.

Very nice.
Well spotted and good inclusion of the smiley face on the right so that we may "authenticate" that it is actually Walmart.
Apparently this is the new garden decoration?

In a country with 2 gods ($$$ & Jesus) it's inevitable that this is what it would come to. Gaudy and thought provoking. Well spotted.
