Because it's moving at the speed of light. I'm pretty sure as Alex said, that it's just considered "broken" because of a /0. But while I'm pretty poor at math, it seems to me that you can see that the limit of things moving closer to the speed of light is that the passage of time is approaching a zero rate. The same goes for stuff stuck in a black hole, no? That they are essentially frozen in time relative to our perspective? [Emphasis added.]
If X moves at nearly the speed of light relative to you, then it will look to you like time almost stops for X.
But X's time will seem normal to X. To X, it will seem like your time nearly stopped.
So, to a photon (if we're going to ignore the division by zero) times stops for you, not for the photon.
