“I’ve never been called a c— so many times in my life,” says Steven Grasse, referring to a nasty word rhyming with hunt, which he says has been tossed at him by a fair share of Englanders of late. The marketing maven behind Gyro Worldwide, Grasse cleverly began promotion of his new book, “The Evil Empire: 101 Ways that England Ruined the World,” in England, where he’s been extensively covered by the London press. He appeared on the telly and received tons of hate messages online and by mail to the local Gyro offices.

“It’s all based on fact,” Grasse says of the book, with chapters such as, “They Can’t Dance,” “They Invented College,” “They Supported the Confederacy,” and “They’re Descended From Cannibals.”

We are tempted to call this move the Reverse-Steven Wells, but that gives them both a little too much credit.
