Why can't this RSS feed send apostrophes?

[Fear_Itself]

I am subscribed to the RSS feed from www.Liveleak.com through Outlook 2007. When I receive a notice of a new article, it always screws up the apostrophes in the description, as in the following example:

Iranian Experts have recently finished work on a new class of submarine called ‘Hath AL Adda’ meaning ‘Dark menace of the deep sea on the wings of a large bird’

It only occurs in this one feed, and every apostrophe in every desciption is broken. Other RSS feeds have no problems with apostrophes, so i don’t think it is an Outlook 2007 thing, or anything on my end. What would cause the descriptions to be screwed up like this?

Badly written software on their end is double-escaping their apostrophes. (Confirmed by viewing the source XML of their feed.)

They should be escaped like this: ’ which your browser/RSS reader would render as: ’

Instead, they’re getting escaped like that and then escaped again, so they look like this: ’ which gets rendered as '.

Oops.
