'''Static cling''' is caused by [[static electricity]] often in a [[clothes dryer]]. It can be removed by deionizing materials with water, and prevented with [[fabric softener]] dryer sheets. [[Antistatic agent]]s are used to make the surfaces slightly conductive, which reduces or prevents the static charge buildup.
'''Stuart Young''' is a [[Scot]] living in [[Point_Chevalier|Pt Chev]], [[Auckland]], [[New Zealand]].
A neat trick which children (and many older people) find very funny is to rub a [[balloon]] against one's shirt to give it a static charge and then throw it towards the ceiling, where it can stick for hours.
He is a wiki addict and has contributed to a variety of music and politics wikipedia definitions. He began contributing entries to Internet-enabled collaborative knowledgebases with imdb.com back in 1993 when it had an email interface.
==Static Cling in Advertising==
==My Contributions==
Advertisers in urban areas, eager to use [[guerilla marketing]] techniques, have turned to static cling as a distribution medium. In an advertising campaign for [[MSN]] 8, [[Microsoft]]'s [[online]] service, thousands of butterfiles resembling the MSN logo were affixed to surfaces in [[New York City]] and held there with static cling.
