Besides the hilarity of his pain, it was also a little insight into what it's like to have something that's different for the environment. "Is that person going to say something about my [hair/clothes/tattoos/race/whatever]?"

It's worth noting that although these are things people search for, it may not accurately reflect their personal opinions and beliefs.
For instance, that bit about women being silent in church can probably be explained by people researching the bible verse of a similar sentiment, 1 Cor 14:34. (Note: I used Google to find this reference but do not believe that women shouldn't speak in church.)
That being said, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of gender equality, and I think this ad campaign will at least get people talking.
This kid didn't drop out of school. He's homeschooled, an arrangement that works for a variety of families for a variety of reasons.
One huge gripe I have with most schools is that they tend to force students to concentrate on not failing when they should be identifying their strengths and developing them. If Blake is good at video games, why not let him develop that skill? Even if he doesn't become a professional gamer, he can still go into the video game industry and have a "successful" career.

I think it's great to hear about something so positive, regardless of how rare or widespread it may be.

And "Jesus!" is sung in a high metal vocal.
If that doesn't work, you can try saying "Jesus!" in that voice that announces monster truck shows.
(This is a legitimate question. I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything.)
