UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa3 in position 28: unexpected code byte

I got this error today. I've attached a patch to make it ignore utf-8 decoding errors.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Ignoring Unicode errors is not a good solution. The solution is to fix the encoding of your data.

I guess you're right. I'm actually using the aggregator app from django_website, so maybe that needs patching so it encodes content data as utf-8?
