==Explanation==<br />
Pandora (also known as Pandora Internet Radio) is website which automatically plays songs of a certain genre based upon the user's previous musical selections. Unlike normal radio, it adapts itself teach individual user's preferences. While possible to skip a song in Pandora, it is not possible to choose songs. While Pandora will nearly always play music that one likes, it does not know when to play certain song over others. This results in embarrassing songs being played with equal frequency to songs which one would be comfortable listening to with others in the room. However, it feels like these embarrassing songs are played only when another person is in the room.<br />
