The Onion just announced the switch of its flagship Web site, theonion.com, to Django as its framework.  This follows several smaller Django project, including A.V. Club, created by The Onion tech team.

Previously, The Onion ran on a PHP/Drupal platform.

From their blog post:

Just this past weekend we switched over The Onion proper, and we're seeing immediate gains in speed, maintainability, and stability. As a team we have a pretty broad base of experience and I know we're all in agreement that what we've got now is better, enormously better.

In addition, The Onion moved to PostgreSQL as their relational database. 

Imaginary Landscape utilizes Django and PostgreSQL in their Web development.  glad to see we're in good (and funny) company.
