A GallPeters projection as well as a south-up Peters map were featured in the American television show The West Wing (season 2, episode 16), in which the (fictitious) Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality is given access to the White House Press Secretary due to “Big Block of Cheese Day”.

Discuss why Dr. John Fallow (actor John Billingsley) promoted the use of this map over Mercator projection?
