@KatrinaWeaver I moved your post over to this existing thread: Ad Feedback - Explicit Ads
Explicit ads playing on regular stations:
We recognize that certain material is sensitive ground, so we do our best to preserve the listening experience. All of our ads are thoughtfully vetted by folks across various teams at Pandora, to ensure they are free from speech or content that is hateful, illegal, false, misleading, fraudulent, inaccurate or unfair. While we respect the perspective of each individual, and while there are occasional judgment calls still required, we feel strongly that our advertising platform should not be in the business of censoring. That being said, you might want to restrict Pandora from playing songs with explicit content. When you do that, you not only remove songs with explicit lyrical content, you also remove some ads that are not intended for people who have demonstrated an aversion to explicit content. As a result, this option may remove some advertisements that might offend you. To disable explicit content from our website on a computer, click the icon (initial or picture) on the top right corner of the page, select Settings, and then Content Settings. There, you should see an Explicit Content toggle, which indicates whether you would like to allow explicit content or not. Set this to Off.

Explicit ads playing on kid's stations:
Explicit ads should never play on Children's stations regardless of whether or not you have your Explicit Filter enabled.
I'm happy to look into this for you, but I'll need a bit more information first. Could you tell me a little more? Please include as much of the below information as possible:
What was the ad for? Do you remember the brand, product, event or website name?
Do you remember anything specific that was said or mentioned in the explicit ad that played?
Was it a visual ad, an audio ad, or a video ad with audio?
What is the name of the children's station you were listening to?
What day did this advertisement play?
If you are able to grab a screenshot of the ad, please send that over as well.
Once I have more information about the ad, I can pass it along to our advertising team. We really appreciate your help with this!
