Occasional whitespace parse issue

Hello. Thanks for he rotten tomatoes API, it works very well.

You may know this already, but if not, lately I have noticed that sometimes there is a problem with parsing JSON returned from rotten tomatoes. It looks like it may be that jackson is much more strict about what JSON it will accept, than rotten tomatoes is at producing it.

I will see errors like this from time to time, over the last week or so:

[error] Caused by: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Illegal character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 31)): only regular white space (\r, \n, \t) is allowed between tokens

Perhaps rotten tomatoes have some film in the charts with unusual whitespace, I'll try and identify what exactly.
