IE Bugs When Writing JSON Via An ASPX Response

I have an ASPX page that I am using to write JSON. It works great in Firefox and Chrome, but when I try and use it in IE 8 it gives me an "The XML page cannot be displayed" error instead of allowing jQuery to load the JSON being written by the response. Here is what my code looks like:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ContentType = "application/json";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Write(string.Format("[ {{ "Foo": "{0}", "bar": "{1}" }} ]", "Foo Content", "Bar Content"));
Response.End();
}
