I don't really think it's any more than a bit of fun, really: it is what it is, and doesn't seem to hide its explotiation-based goals: "Girls of Ryanair", "charity calendar". I can totally see how people would disagree with me though, arguing that, by excluding men from the calendar, or by focusing on conventionally-attractive women, the calendaristas are perpetuating a sort of tokenism at 20,000 feet.
The video you attached is hilarious-- those weird cat photos are more interesting than the calendar itself (which as an oddly retro feel despite the high-contrast "modern" photog style), and should somehow be incorporated into the actual product.
