Reminds me of the James Bond movie where the villain has a man attacked by piranhas and then comments "He disagreed with something that ate him "

That man was Bond's CIA friend Felix Lighter, the fish was a shark, and he lost his leg. This happens in Live And Let Die.
I had thought piranhas maligned by fearful hype in the horror movie addicted 80s. The article does pull back a bit from that fearful approach, but I don’t want to fall into a pool of starved piranha to test my assumption they have been defamed.
Say what you want about piranha, but at least they aren’t the parasitic catfish that allegedly swim up your urine stream to lodge themselves inside your junk. Yeah, NO!!!!
Oh they have been defamed too? [en.m.wikipedia.org]

There are places where one can "swim with the piranhas." Usually those places have similar looking, but less aggressive fish. A well fed piranha isn't usually a threat to humans.
When I was in Thailand, I watched Pacu being fed. They look like big piranha, but aren't very aggressive. However, when their food was added, the water turned into a frothing madness.
