Two major advances in technology over the past few years include the ubiquity of Flash, and the emergence of digital signage as a viable, eye-catching way to reach the masses.

But they don't always work well together.

Today, in Manhattan, with what seemed like millions of holiday shoppers and revelers walking the city streets, a 10-story digital advertisement for CNN - - using Flash - - just out and out crashed in the middle of the lunch hour. (Photo below.)

The sign, owned and managed by Clear Channel, posted the all-too-familiar Flash error message and just hung there for about 20 minutes. Ten stories above Broadway. Staring down at thousands and thousands of passersby.
