Wait you mean it wasn't part of the ad??
In this corporate hellscape, the ads must flow.
Those are made of modular LED panels, they can fail individually and not cause any other issues for the rest of the screen.
Easier to swap faulty parts and rearrange them if another size is needed.
Interesting picture for sure, could be the cover piece for adblock software.
Guess they couldn't handle all this data after all
A mere flame cannot defeat the might of capitalism

I guess Spider-man didn't make it to that one in time.
Well, that's one way to get your point across.
"Holy shit! There's a fire! Right there on the sign that says "Are you paying too much for your car insurance?"!"
" It has a point. "
Spider-Man fights crime, not fire, what the fuck is he supposed to do, web the fire then make a quip about being 'too hot to handle'?
It's a kind of a bad reference to that Spider Man PS4 game that got such good reviews. There was a side activity in it in which billboards in Times Square were having growing electrical problems and could literally explode - you had to swing through it, hitting all the faulty boards with electrified webbing to force them to reboot. It was silly.
i thought it was a cards against humanity thing for a sec
