Attitude not withstanding, how are you rendering your templates? If
you aren't using a RequestContext, then
settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS will not be run to populate the
context, and so STATIC_URL will be empty.
BTW, staticfiles is an entirely optional component of Django, it isn't
required.
