Youtube Bulletins SUCK. They break links!! EDITED

Add this to the ever present (and growing!) list of youtube site issues. This one isn't major, but it's certainly annoying. When I link to my latest blog articles in my youtube bulletins, the link appears to be intact, but when I paste it into my browser window, it gets screwy for some inexplicable reason.


For example, this: http://magx01.blogspot.com/2010/04/after-burner-climax-xbla-review.html

becomes: http://magx01.blogspot.com/2010/04/after--burner-climax-xbla-review.html which does not work.

And this: http://magx01.blogspot.com/2010/04/ameri­cans-for-prosperity-is-front-for.html

becomes http://magx01.blogspot.com/2010/04/ameri-­cans-for-prosperity-is-front-for.html

And again, a broken link.

(changes to both links bolded and red for slightly easier viewing)

My subscribers cannot access my content if they links are frigging broken. What gives? Is this a known issue? Is there a work around? Thanks very much for any and all feedback.

EDIT: I started using tinyurl to shorten the links and it works like a charm.
