[jQuery] question about getJSON and surrounding JavaScript comments in JSON


I'd like to use the getJSON function but my data source has
surrounding javascript comments on it. Is there a way I can use
getJSON and pass it a parameter to strip this off. If not is there a
different function that would be more appropriate?
I am able to remove the Javascript comment characters and getJSON
works fine but the feed is this way.
thanks for any help.
