Two households, both a'lacking in dignity,
In fair California, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean:
This is the Nickelodeon-Disney War of 2012.

As any twenty-something will tell you, there is no greater divide than that which separates "Disney Kids" from "Nickelodeon Kids" and also remember Ghost Writer and remember the 90's in general?

Disney Kids played soccer. Nickelodeon kids skateboarded (very slowly, just to the end of their street). Disney Kids wore clothes from Old Navy. Nickelodeon kids wore a shirt they pulled out of a sewer they were exploring with their friends. Disney kids could spell the word "nickelodeon." Nickelodeon kids could not, and so they called it "Nick."

Now the e'er smouldering fire of discord between these two groups has leapt up anew, thanks to a bit of ash flicked from the cigarette of Disney actress and professional bad driver Lindsay Lohan, in the form of a tweet (now deleted), reading Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far? +.



Below, Gawker re-examines both Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes' contributions to the Arts, to help you determine which millionaire you should support in this clash of titans.

1996 – 2002: –All That
 Amanda Bynes became the youngest cast member in All That history when she joined the sketch comedy series at age 10, in 1996, giving hope to children of all ages that they too could become the youngest cast member in All That history. Her debut on the show ushered in the next era of All That, when Katrina, Alisa, and Angelique Whom No One Remembers left the show. Her departure marked the end of my watching All That.

Where do your loyalties lie?

If you are a pot enthusiast, tomboy, guy who describes girls as "too high-maintenance," slapstick comedian, Drake Bell, Hilary Duff, or the proud owner of a Rugrats-themed tattoo, you are a Demanda.

If you are a gay man, red head, trainwreck, socialite (from whom Lindsay Lohan has not stolen), popular to middlingly popular teen, fire sign, coroner, member of Dakota Lohan's lacrosse team, or person from Long Island, you are a: Liloyalist.

If you are a pedestrian, you are: in favor of their incarceration, post-haste.
