On the Django homepage, there are a few big sites mentioned that use Django.

lawrence.com
washingtonpost.com
EveryBlock
LJWorld.com
Tabblo
Toronto Life

A lot more can probably be found on djangosites.org.
I also would tell him that Google endorses Django, for example by
shipping it with App Engine and using it for Rietveld themselves.
bitbucket.org is also done with Django, and is a very good example of
what's possible with it in my opinion.

You can find some more sites and arguments pro Django here:

And some more arguments pro Django here:

One big .net based site is stackoverflow, IIRC.
