I'll have a bit of an out-of-the-choir voice here.

My question is why the boy was invited on stage.
I am open to correction, but it is possible that the boy's outfit was 
the reason Jon Kalb invited him on the stage - possibly to promote a 
message about minorities' inclusion (or anything else, my only point is 
that whatever the reason it doesn't seem related to software development).

 From this perspective, irrespective of the moderator's intentions, it 
can be seen as an off-topic sketch in a software conference. In other 
words, if Rick gets criticism (rightly) when he uses the audience of 
this newsgroup to spread his message about the bible, maybe the action 
of using an audience gathered to listen to Bjarne for a different 
purpose can be seen as a stretch as well.
