Gareth Nelson, being a fellow Brit, might tend to understate things - so let
me repeat his suggestion and add to it a little bit, as it's a very good
one.

Not only does Kennita's physical inclusion in the FDGD circus imply
endorsement by mainstream cryonics (or at least, toleration), it actually
goes some way towards legitimising the charlatans behind it and their cargo
cult version of therapeutic human cryopreservation. 

So here's my suggestion for the text that could be put in the Q&A section -
a polite but firm attack on everything the Grandpa Bredo people do and
represent and a clear distancing between their tomfoolery and the real
medical technology of cryonics.

isn't cryonics is a good idea?
