Comedian John Oliver discovered the boomerang-effect of public mocking when the mayor of a Connecticut town he once shaded on air hit back — by naming a sewer plant after him.
Danbury, Connecticut, Mayor Mark Boughton posted a video on Facebook Saturday in which he agreed with and reiterated three points of interest in the town that Oliver mentioned in an Aug. 16 segment of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight.” But Boughton did not dismiss Oliver’s comments that followed, and he came out swinging.
“Today, I am proud to announce our fourth point of interest,” Boughton said with a smile.
