UNDATED (AP) – Sometimes a person’s name is mud. In this case, Jon Oliver’s name is, well, sewage. The city of Danbury, Connecticut has signed off on naming its sewage plant after the comedian. The City Council voted 18-1 to approve the move last night. This all started in August, when Oliver went on a profane rant against Danbury on his HBO show – and the mayor responded with a social media video at the sewage plant saying the city would name it after Oliver because – quote – “it’s full of crap just like you.” Oliver was cool with that — only to be irked when the mayor said it was just a joke. Oliver offered a $55,000 donation to local charities if Danbury followed through and named the plant for him- and now, the city has officially agreed.
