Naturally, informing Fosters that they have "cat's piss and a horse-piss
light in their vats." will command their respect and give reason to have
them give Linu Australia any type of grant.

I know that their marketing people and grants people will look at such
childish statements as just that. Childish. At least, I would hope they
do.

Let me put this in another way: Matt Palmer has actually said that
Fosters make horse-piss. If I were Fosters grant coordinator I'd be
asking Matt Palmer for an explanation.
