I like this fellow, he's using a concept I've personally floated a few times. I've suggested a sewage treatment plant named after Justin Trudeau on these very pages. This mayor has named their municipal sewage treatment plant after the ever-obnoxious TV host John Oliver. Good for him!

Local officials in Danbury, Connecticut have named a sewage plant after comedian John Oliver, as the star insulted the town in a rant on his U.S. late night show.
Danbury’s Mayor Mark Boughton announced the dubious accolade in a video posted on his Facebook page on Sunday, responding to a bizarre rant Oliver embarked on about the town on his HBO show, Last Week Tonight.
“We are going to rename it the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” the Republican mayor said of the City of Danbury Sewer Plant. “Why? Because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”
The anti-Danbury tirade came during a show segment when John was discussing racial disparities in the jury selection process.
“If you’re going to forget a town in Connecticut,” he said, “why not forget Danbury? Because, and this is true, f— Danbury!”
He went on to say the town “can eat my whole ass”, and added that every citizen of Danbury has a “standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver, children included, f— you.”
It is not the first time he has mocked Boughton’s town, having made fun of him and other mayors over their desperation to attract Amazon’s second world headquarters when the company was checking out potential locations.
The mayor had recorded a video of himself asking Amazon’s home assistant Alexa where the best place for the facility would be, and Alexa saying Danbury in response.
In Boughton’s new video, he also references the fact Amazon has decided to open a distribution facility in the city, even if the town did not land the coveted headquarters.
