Just thought I'd pass on that the Canadian Cancer Society is running a spot on TV up here that heavily features slingers.
The spot starts out with a young boy standing alone in a field, confronted by a looming shadowy presence (DvsG). As it approaches, he drops a sling from his clenched fist and stoops to load a stone. He then stands and takes up a defiant stance, before starting a "helicopter" (doh!). The camera then slowly pans out to reveal another slinger, then another, then a few hundred - pointing out that those facing cancer are not fighting alone.
If it wasn't for the helicopter, I thought it was well done. Now if only the kid had been allowed to let fly on the second windup!

They did a good job of the slings too... good length, braided thongs, wrist retention loop and leather pouch (though the pouch is a little big for my taste)
