Smoking Poll: Who Is Doing Eric Clapton’s Laundry?

The title of today’s Smoking Poll might seem like it’s a bit on the trivial side. You’re probably wondering why you should even care about Eric Clapton’s laundry. But you won’t wonder that once you find out that it’s… EVIL!

Recently, TMZ ran a story that featured candid video of Eric Clapton doing his own laundry at a coin operated laundromat. While most people would blow that off as nothing more than the typical inconsequential celebrity stalking that TMZ fills in the blanks with when they aren’t blowing the lid off of actual scandals and news stories, one citizen of the internet saw it for what it really was.

In a three minute rant, YouTube user OccultScience101 exposes the real truth. Apparently, it’s not Clapton doing his laundry, but rather an impostor and/or robot. Furthermore, the real purpose behind the story is to signal an unidentified person that they are to “proceed with the next step in the plan.” That might sound insane, but trust us, we haven’t even scratched the surface.

Watch the entire video to fully grasp the craziness at work here. And then vote in the poll at the end of the page to help us figure out the truth.

    Maybe it was a “spur-of-the-moment” thing for Eric…like, he spilled something on his clothes and needed them washed right then.

    It’s probably just someone who looks like him. I’m pretty sure this guy has a washer and dryer at home. Unless it’s broken.

    Who knows, he could be doing research for a song. Or maybe he’s trying to hide something from his family at home. Why else would he be doing it at a laundry mat? Broken? Pssh please.

    I’m more with the broken theory. . . . the whack job has a point that multi millionaires typically don’t do laundry at the local laundromat–they can afford to buy better machines at home. But that still doesn’t change the fact that the whack job on YouTube is a whack job

    My theory is that it’s a way for him to get out of the house on his own a bit and think. I know that I come up with my best guitar/song ideas while driving long distances solo, or being able to do my own thing alone for periods of time, usually away from home where I don’t have all kinds of distractions, from the tv and computer and Wii to the chance that someone will come home and interrupt me, etc.

    My guess is that a laundromat is someplace that he’s not likely to be noticed or bothered as Eric Clapton and someplace he can go to do his own thing without the distractions that come with all your stuff at home. Even if his washer and dryer were broken, it’s not like somebody of Clapton’s wealth couldn’t send out an assistant to purchase all new clothes instead of washing old ones. It’s his way of getting out of th house.

    yeah i’m going with a look alike. Wouldn’t you think Clapton has someone that comes in and does his laundry for him>>

    I guess he spent all of his money getting down, down on the ground… cocaine.

    Laundry mats in LA (my hometown) is where folks to buy illicit things. The clothes were just a cover. Look at his face- he looks caught red handed.

    Things must be rough for Clapton. Maybe his ex-wives took all his money

    My guess is that Eric must have some kind of quirk about his clothes being cleaned. Maybe a hidden Michael Jackson type oddness that he has about his clothes and laundry. It s him in the video. I have been a big fan for decades and I could spot him anywhere. It’s no look alike. It’s Clapton. Alcoholics and addicts are known to have quirks about them, maybe this is his.
