The problem is your code below is using __unicode__ as the method to display
itself, and that was not added until after the 0.96 release. So when the
(0.96.1) admin goes to display your objects it doesn't find the str() method
it looks for to do that, so just displays the kind of object it is.
So, you can either upgrade to an SVN checkout of Django, or change your
__unicode__ methods to str ones. If you stick with 0.96.1, you'll also need
to watch out for other things added since then, since it seems you are using
doc that is post-0.96.1, or switch to using the 0.96 docs.
