It’s official. Every time residents of Danbury, Connecticut, flush, they will be sending their special deliveries to the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant.

The City Council voted 18-1 Thursday night to rename the sewage plant after the comedian, who began a tongue-in-cheek battle with Danbury when he went on an expletive-filled rant against the city on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” in August.

Mayor Mark Boughton didn’t waste any time responding on social media. He posted a video of himself at the sewage plant saying the city was going to name it after Oliver.

“Why?” the Republican mayor asked. “Because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”

I got my Social Security card in Danbury years ago but am not familiar with their politics, which seems conservative.
 
All my Connecticut friends live in Greenwich. We don't associate with the rubes in Danbury gigglesmile (2019_02_27 17_41_55 UTC).gif
 
That doesn't seem petty at all.
 
Did he ever send a political contribution to President Trump like he promised to do?
 
Oliver could not afford to buy this kind of publicity Like him, it's too funny.
 
John Oliver attended the ribbon cutting and an unveiling ceremony.




There John Oliver also have a koala chlamydia ward named after him.
