Title tag is not correctly parsed for feeds from TechCrunch, NewTeeVee, etc.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. import feedparser
f=feedparser.parse('http://feedproxy.google.com/TechCrunch')
for for e in f.entries:
  print e.title
ya
jason
240px-No-fanboys.svg
...

The titles for all the entries are wrong, e.g. for the first entry it should be 
'Yammer 3.0 For iPhone: Now With 100% Fewer Crashes', not 'ya'. 

I've pasted the relevant feed entry below, obtained via 
urllib.urlopen(feed).read().  The problem seems to be that feedparser is 
mistaking the title attribute of an image within the entry for the entry title.

RELEVANT FEED ENTRY:

<item>\r\n\t\t<title>Yammer 3.0 For iPhone: Now With 100% Fewer 
Crashes</title>\r\n\t\t<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/vwM866

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python 2.6, Mac OS X 10.5.8, latest feedparser.py from trunk (initially was 
using whatever comes with python or whatever I'd downloaded from release)

I get this result using the HEAD version of Feedparser as well as FeedParser 
4.1. Can you still reproduce this bug?

Original comment by a...@google.com on 20 Jun 2010 at 4:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes I can still reproduce this bug, see below.

Could the problem be stemming from a library required by feedparser, e.g. 
sgmllib, xml.sax?  For the latter I'm using version 0.8.4.  Not sure how to 
tell for the former.

I had the same problem with version 4.1 - with version 4.2-pre-294-svn it works 
for me

Original comment by maz...@gmail.com on 21 Jul 2010 at 3:07

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please close this bug.

I've tested using svn trunk and the URL provided.

@amarpai: Please download the latest version of feedparser from svn trunk [1]. 
This should fix your problem. If not, you might double-check your environment 
and make sure that an old version of feedparser isn't being imported instead of 
the svn version. If you're having a problem, try running this code:

import feedparser
print feedparser.__file__

It's normal if the filename ends in .pyc instead of .py, but the path is what's 
important.
