Last weekend there was a malfunction in some part of the system running
a video advertising system in Oslo, Norway, which produced an unwanted "ad".
This produced a very large and visible Microsoft Windows message saying
the program was terminated due to the malfunction.
This video news system "Lysavisen" or "The Light Newspaper" is located
at the main entrance to the city. It is easy to spot due to the size, approx
8.9 x 6.48 meter or 27 x 19.6 feet.
Later the following week a cake was delivered from Microsoft Norway to
Aftenposten (the newspaper), measuring slightly less than the error message.
