report it in Ask the Admins.

Ads are generated based on page content or browsing history. Sometimes the algorithms generate offensive ads. When that happens, the admins have the ability to ask Google Ads to block ads from that source in the future.

They may choose not to - but the only way to find out is to ask.

If they're one of the rarer sorts, it's rather more serious, though, I grant you.

Many times I have done a search and a relevant ad pops up here on DU. But lion skin rugs?
