Lobby to get the White House to support Peeters projection

It's already quite an old clip, but I came across it once again while putting together a presentation about Projections, and wanted to share: Cartographers trying to get the White House to "Aggressively support the adoption of Peeters projection"... Don't worry, it's only TV (the West Wing).

The brilliant ending, when they show an up-side-down map of the world:
"Yeah, but you can't do that!"
" Why not?"
"Because it's freaking me out...!"
