That's because the HTML-Code is a bit messed up.
Code:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Chaos Manor Reviews  Column 330, Part 2, January 29, 2008</title>
<meta httpequiv="ContentType" content="text/html; charset=iso88591" />
See? The browser doesn't know which charset to use, in my case (Firefox) it uses ISO-8859-1, which is the wrong one for that website. When I switch to UTF-8 manually the messed up characters are transformed to – (en dash)
