OK, ladies and gentlemen -- why is it that in the dead of winter, Maison Mode (what used to be known as Capital Times Square) is putting on the aircon -- and at that icy-cold wind -- like about 5 days before winter solstice?

And you wonder why people are falling ill and behaving more like John Hodgeman than Justin Long in the first Mac & PC ads. (That is -- going down with the cold, if you don't get it.)

Please, ladies and gents, don't give me that baloney that "the State Council forced us to adjust the heating to no more than 20°C." I know what room temperature is supposed to be.

Chilling a floor below ground floor at Maison Mode -- all clothes fully wrapped like an eskimo -- ladies and gents, NO FUN!
