Lakeland man unsure about visiting website

Hot Totz




Clinton Dilson of Lakeland has found a website that intrigues him but he’s afraid to actually click the link.

“It’s HotTotz.com and I’m not exactly sure what kind of content there is,” he said, his right index finger hovering over the left-click button on his mouse. “Could be food, specifically spicy tater tots, or it could be porn… and there’s a good chance that if it’s porn, it’s the really bad kind.”

“There are these cute cartoon icons of tater tots, which suggests it’s family-friendly but that could be a sinister misdirection in itself.”

He won’t say what search terms he used to find the site but did say, “I happen to love all forms of fried potatoes and I also enjoy porn, but I’m not some twisted weirdo. I’m just a regular, red-blooded, young American man with natural urges and curiosity and I just happen to be sexually aroused by all forms of fried potatoes.”

“Okay, that might be a little twisted and weird. But I am definitely not a pedophile!”

He posted his dilemma to a Facebook group, seeking advice from people who might be like-minded. Most people who responded cautioned him not to go there.

  • “Dude, that’s clearly an online sting. Go ahead and click it if you want to go to jail for a very long time!”
  • “It might be totally innocent. It looks like it could be German. That could also mean it’s not innocent at all though”
  • “Are you crazy? You live in Polk County! You shouldn’t even publicly admit to being interested in mainstream porn!! Get a sex dungeon on the down low like everybody else who lives here.”
  • “It’s not worth the risk. You should check out my podcast instead. It doesn’t have anything to do with fried potatoes but I need the clicks.”

A rare dissenting opinion came from a user listed as ‘Jady Grudd’ who said, “You should just go ahead and click on it. You’ll never know for sure if you don’t. And what’s the worst thing that could happen? Do it. DO IT!!”
