    Lately, art history majors have become something of a pop culture punching bag.


    Not only has the phrase become short-hand for "unemployable in today's economy," they've also been ridiculed by President Barack Obama on national television.

    But will the gentle art of aesthetic study finally get the last laugh?


    Middle Earth Organics is known for their organic pasta sauces, each label featuring a famous Italian painting.


    While this would normally be an NBD, the painting they chose for their tomato and porcini mushroom sauce has been stirring up controversy online.

    Good evening. Hungry?

    The image is "Judith Beheading Holofernes," a painting by Caravaggio. Judith, seen above, is not making an al dente delight. Judith is cutting off some dude's head.

    As 11points.com noted, "That unfortunate painting selection could've been avoided if they'd just hired an art history major." You heard it here folks. Pasta sauce companies: the future of global arts employment.


    Take a look at the art inspired lineup of sauces.
