Evil Empire

I had some great pictures of all of my birthday gifts from last week but I must have deleted them off the camera before they made it to the computer.

Two of the coolest were my CCCP t-shirt and matching beach towel.  In the motherland (as I think I'll call the US) the USSR was called the evil empire.  So in the grand scheme of towel evilness, which of these is worse?  This...

... or this?

I think my facial expressions shows how I feel about it.
