The Bachelor: Daily News FactCheck™ 
Friday, March 17, 2006

207-architect.JPGIt's typically up to the blogs to offer up false and scurrilous "information" while the offline world trades only in truth. Not so in the latest round of web/MSM synergy, where, if you'll recall, the Daily News picked up The Gutter's Bachelor-Architect casting call, transforming it with a dash of the keystroke and the churn of a printing press from salacious gossip to absolute fact. Except that they didn't.

From the Daily News story:

But single, straight architect Eric Clough, a partner in 212 Box, a Tribeca-based architectural firm, warns not to judge a book by its cover.

From an eagle-eyed Reader:

Thought you’d just like to know about bachelor boy Eric Clough 1. Isn’t an architect - No license etc 2. Isn’t single - lives with his girlfriend and new baby.

And to think, we trusted them.

Despite the fact that he does not know what the definition of the terms heterosexual or bachelor are, our dear, deluded Eric is neither. He is polysexual - a word perhaps I have created - but in essence he will literally 'do' whoever and whatever he has to in order to make himself look good and get ahead.

Such a shame he was allowed to propagate - of course , he'll have to look that one up too!

Apparently, Mr. Clough does not realize that some lies have consequences. As a licensed architect, I feel badly for his partners who I've heard are the brains behind the (um) man.

Isn't it legally problematic to claim to be an architect, when you are without license? Couldn't this poor boy get himself into hot water with the architecture 5-0?

I personally think that he is cute, but I like short, bald(ing) men with huge egos and freakishly small hands.

alas, this poor sole cant come clean with his seemingly true identity; a bi curious m4w4m4aia. rumor on the street has it the partnership is no more; likely due to his apparent "professionalism"; never mind the self professed infatuating crushes on unsuspecting clients all the while masquerading (or is it masturbating) as an architect. but i too love those small hands; they must work wonders!
