Synopsis:
Constantine investigates the recent strange deaths of yuppies. He follows two yuppies to an odd neighborhood. They are actually demons and have been trading yuppies for their souls.
After John is chased from a demon bar, he requests an audience with the Lord of Flatulence, Blathoxi. He offers to sell his own soul which causes the demon lord to question his position in the soul market. He believes that John has inside information about the upcoming elections. John is bluffing, but it has the desired effect. Blathoxi kills his demon underlings and begins selling.
John is captured by the demons and forced to watch the election results. Blathoxi is angered when he finds out that Constantine tricked him. John survives, but he is forced to endure watching hours of election coverage on television.
