This has to be something produced recently that has been made to look old.

Can't be for real. Just can't be.

One of their video projects is an AIDS awareness cartoon. The cartoon, produced by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners[10] and presented in the style of 1920's era animation, features the comically exaggerated sexual adventures of a cat named "Smutley" and ends with the message, "He has nine lives. You only have one. Protect yourself."[11] Posted on AIDES' YouTube channel on 16 March 2011, it has logged over 1.3 million views as of 3 June 2012.

Betty Boop toons where upskirt no underwear shots were snuck in. It was just a frame or two, so no one would notice without slowing the projector, but they did it just because they could.

Cartooning was a boring job back then.

And let us not forget just how randy Hollywood was in those days. Weinstein would have been lost in the crowd.
