Yes, this is very much not safe for work. The latest bit of marketing for PIRANHA 3DD hits the spinning Internet via FunnyorDie and actually is quite funny! I mean with The Hoff and Gary Busey and all, how can you go wrong?
The movie is blatant sexism though, so if you watch it, be prepared. It's audience knows who they are and they are marketing DIRECTLY at them with this featurette.
Have a look if you dare! There is actually a spoiler in this thing, so again YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Here's the movie's storyline:
After the terror unleashed on Lake Victoria in PIRANHA 3D, the pre-historic school of blood thirsty piranhas are back. This time, no one is safe from the flesh eating fish as they sink their razor sharp teeth into the visitors of summer’s best attraction, The Big Wet Water Park. Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE) reprises his role as the eccentric piranha expert with survivor Paul Scheer (THE LEAGUE) and a partially devoured Ving Rhames (PULP FICTION) back for more fish frenzy. David Hasselhoff trades in the sandy beaches of “Baywatch” to be a celebrity lifeguard at the racy water park. Prepare for double the terror, double the action and double the D’s in this sequel also starring Gary Busey (LETHAL WEAPON), Katrina Bowden (30 ROCK), Danielle Panabaker (THE CRAZIES), Matt Bush (ADVENTURELAND), Chris Zylka (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and David Koechner (ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY).
Ok so there is not too much difference between this trailer and the previous one, BUT you do get to see more (ok not too much more) of Gary Busey and David Hasselhoff so click that play button!
Clearly this movie is not pretending to be anything but what it actually is: A rated 'R' summer popcorn movie. Specifically rated 'R' because: Sequences of strong bloody horror violence and gore, graphic nudity, sexual content, language and some drug use.

It's the obvious pun isn't it? No BODY is safe. There is no wool pulled over anyone's eyes with this exploitation film but it does have to measure up to the original's pure fun accomplished by director Alexandre Aja.
So will it? Good question. I like the tongue in cheek of having David Hasselhoff playing a fake life guard and of course Ving Rhames always brings it. Hopefully it turns out to be a great summer popcorn movie.
Here's the movie's official storyline: Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Though they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Lead by the strong-willed, studious Maddy and her friends, Barry and Kyle, the trio must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being…but can they be stopped? Shot in 3-D and feauturing Esquire Magazine’s “2011 Sexiest Woman Alive,” Katrina Bowden and the return of Christopher Lloyd, Paul Scheer and Ving Rhames alongside fresh bait Gary Busey and David Hasselhoff, the film that took an $80 Million bite out of the box office is back for more…only this time it has double the terror and double the D!

Just as I suspected - more exploitation, but in a meaningful way! Meaningful if you enjoyed the first one that is. Note that Alexandre Aja is not attached to this film, and neither are Ving Rhames legs. Those are weapons baby.
