Judging by the title fragments, that would have been Engadget, which uses <title><![CDATA[&]]></title>, which tells the XML parser to hand us & rather than resolving the entity itself, which brings it down to the question of whether or not RSS 2.0 titles are HTML, about which we read tea leaves and sheep entrails and decided "no, they are not."
