The pawn is stupid either because it’s on an impossible square or it didn’t know that it was supposed to be promoted to another piece. The dark square the rook is on has to be either h8 or a1, assuming the board is oriented correctly. That puts the pawn on either b1 or g8, neither of which is possible as a pawn, although it might sit on g8 very briefly before its player finds the piece he’s promoting it to.
If you don’t play chess, never mind, but if you do, this jumps out at you more quickly than it takes to explain it.
