wtf I love Danbury now?

The Connecticut city formerly best known as "dirty Danbury" - perhaps previously best known for the name of the nearby women's prison where "Orange is the New Black"'s author served her sentence - is back in the headlines this week after announcing that it plans to name its new sewage treatment plant after HBO comedian John Oliver.
Why? Because Oliver lambasted the city in a bit from his popular weekly political humor show "Last Week Tonight". During a segment about discrimination in jury selection affecting most of Connecticut's small-ish cities (it's a mostly suburban state), Oliver offered to "fight" anybody from Danbury, because "f**k Danbury," he said.
During the unveiling, the mayor of the city said the name was appropriate because the plant is "full of crap, just like you, John".
