Meaning behind Banksy prints, by Deleted on Mar 31, 2015 21:11:34 GMT 1, The images and prints mean something and nothing depending on the viewer.
The christ with shopping bags because the three wise men wen't out shopping for gold Franken stein scent and myrrh in an ancient Roman pigmentariae tabernam, (boots the chemist) to give as presents way back then. But how did they know it was Christmas?

Jesus was born in September, but the church wanted to end the pagan winter solstice festival so they moved it to the same time. Presents were added after this.
The church used that to their own interest, then the capitalist market turned it into an excuse for needless consumerism which I think is the point of this piece.
Just my take though...

Replace guns with bananas and make people smile.
The christ with shopping bags was apt and lots of cartoonists make social and satirical comments.
Banksy does his on walls.

Why make the assumption any "larger meaning" actually exists?
I would suggest that therein lies the source and cause of your puzzlement.

But this theory doesn't really stand up as they still look rather cool even with the banana replacements.

Banksy took it on board, added someone elses art idea (the omnipresent banana of the pop art generation & that itself had been shamlessley appropriated and subsequently used by whoever had run out of ideas at the time) and then combined the two to ridicule the whole awful sprawling derived cringing hyperbole craphole mess of the movie in one fell swoop.
or
there is no deep meaning to it. its just taking the piss. and he only had black and yellow cans left

Meaning behind Banksy prints, by londonfx on Apr 5, 2015 23:29:06 GMT 1, According to legend, lesbianism was never made illegal in Britain because, when Queen Victoria, pictured, was shown the proposed legislation, she refused to sign it, as she wouldn't believe that lesbians existed. "Women do not do such things," she is reported to have said. Most historians now agree that the story is untrue.
In other versions of the tale, ministers deleted all references to women in the legislation, because they couldn't think of a way of explaining matters to the dear old queen.
However, the idea Victoria refused to sign MP Henry Labouchere's amendment to the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885, until it had been de-lesbianised, is easily dealt with: the monarch in the late 19th century did not have the power to overrule parliament
The act of being homosexual was only illegal for men. It was not illegal to be a lesbian. It was only made legal to be homosexual in 1967
