The Following Classic Battles Have Been Decided....
As Chris Rock said....
"Remember when we was young everybody used to have these arguments about who's better, Michael Jackson or Prince? Prince won!"
Prince won indeed, but here are some other classic battles that, in retrospect, have a clear winner (winners in ALL CAPS).....
-----------------------------
MATT DAMON vs. Ben Affleck
Matt has two major movie franchises under his belt (The Bourne movies and the Oceans movies) while Ben seems to make crappy movie after crappy movie. And think about it... with all the people in the Oceans movies, isn't it a slap in the face to Ben that he isn't in them in the first place? I mean, CASEY Affleck can score a role in them, but not Ben?
This Onion article pretty much sums up the debate.
-----------------------------
U2 vs. r.e.m.
vs.
Remember around 1991, when these were basically equally huge bands? Heck, by the mid-nineties, R.E.M. may have even taken a small lead.
Not so much anymore.
-----------------------------
Pepsi vs. COKE
Seriously, did anyone ever really think Pepsi was better?
-----------------------------
Corey Haim vs. COREY FELDMAN
This was never really a battle either.... despite the fact that Dara posted a poll on her blog and it was decided by a mere one vote.
I've caught a couple minutes of The Two Coreys and, despite it being excruitatingly bad, I watched long enough to see that Feldman's life is clearly in better order. But none of this matters. Let's go to the filmographies...
Now, one could argue that Corey Haim had the decency to take a break from 2002 through 2007 and not make movies such as Serial Killing 4 Dummys like Corey Feldman. But this is giving Haim too much credit. I think the truth of the matter is that Corey Haim COULDN'T get roles in movies like Serial Killing 4 Dummys.
Ok, that probably isn't really true, but the truth lies in the rest of their filmographies.

I don't know about your summary conclusion on the TV show. I've watched all the episodes and, while Feldman's life is clearly in better order, he comes across as a whiny little wimp who can't even leave the house without his wife's permission.
Haim, on the other hand, comes across like a spoiled 16 year old trying to figure out his path in life.
I'm not sure which is worse, having no life or living in a state of suspended adolescence.
And you're forgetting one important characteristic: Which one of them used to dress up like Michael Jackson in his heydey? That's almost grounds for immediate disqualification.
I was just about to say the Jacko bit ... but maybe Haim wasn't cool enough to hang with the King of Pop/-edophiles?
Haim also got fatter.
And Feldman is M.O.T.
Another debate that was quickly settled: who was gonna do better post-breakup, Britney or Justin?
Dara:
True, but everyone dressed up like Michael in those days. I'm sure Corey Haim did too when we weren't looking.
Joe:
Good call on Britney and Justin. Heck, the even K-Fed might end up doing post-breakup than Britney.
Joe: Haim's also M.O.T. -- his mom's Israeli. And he's not fat on the tv show. He's actually the cuter of the two, at least according to my admittedly warped standards.
Justin: I never dressed up like Michael Jackson. Madonna maybe, but not Michael Jackson.
