Want to influence a casino bid? Polish your corporate image? Not be labeled a racist?

Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal met with the activist preacher after leaked emails showed her making racially charged comments about President Obama. Pascal was under siege after a suspected North Korean cyberattack pressured the studio to cancel its release of “The Interview,” which depicts the assassination of dictator Kim Jong-un.

And the grossest part is the use of the word "Reverend" in front of their name.
That'd give me the creeps. To use that when operating such a racket.
