Status Quo have lashed out at Brighton council over a bizarre new recruitment website which declares that fans of the rock band "need not apply" for four executive jobs. Brighton and Hove City Council spent about £10,000 on the website SayNoToStatusQuo.co.uk, which is designed to attract radical candidates for four new £125,000 strategic director posts. The website's home page is emblazoned with the words "Status Quo fans need not apply" in glittery gold lettering and pink thunderbolts. Status Quo, who reached the peak of their popularity in the 1970s, now plan to hang a banner reading: "Councillors for Brighton and Hove need not attend" when they perform at the Brighton Centre in December. "This is a direct insult to the capabilities of millions of Quo fans, many of whom are probably totally overqualified for these jobs," said Simon Porter, the band's manager. "On top of that, this just seems like a ludicrous waste of money, and particularly in the very week that the new Prime Minister is warning everyone about the future budget cuts. Perhaps Brighton should make some savings in its recruitment department."

10,000 ps? Wow! I'd have built it for them for half that. I don't get it. What was their reasoning?
