Officials from the town of Danbury, Connecticut, drew a furious reaction from HBO’s left-wing late-night house John Oliver, naming their sewage plant “The John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant.”

“If you are going to forget a town in Connecticut, why not forget Danbury because, and this is true, frick Danbury,” Oliver began his rant on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, citing issues with jurors in a few Connecticut towns including Danbury. “Danbury Connecticut can eat my whole arse.”

“I know exactly three things about Danbury, USA Today ranked it the second-best city to live in in 2015, it was once the center of the American hat industry,” Oliver continued. “And if you’re from there, you have a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver, children included, frick you.”

It is not clear what prompted Oliver to target Danbury, which Oliver noted had both a “charming railway museum” and a “historic Hearthstone Castle,” his comments drew anger from local officials.

“We are going to rename it the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” Mayor Mark Boughton said in a Facebook video posted on Saturday. “Why? Because it’s full of crap just like you, John.”
