Google Search Results

Lately i noticed some changes in the search results of google. More and more rss news feeds are returned as top results as you can see in the screenshot below. This is really a big problem becaus if you click on it immediately your configured RSS reader opens (in my case this is the Google Reader). So what to do now? First of all normally i don't want to add the feed to my subscriptions and second i am sure that this post is too old to appear in the list of the latest RSS items.
I just have the option to open the cached element from Google (which is an extracted XML content and not really pretty) or i can copy the URL that was found and try to find the posting by searching on the original blog.
Both possibilities are unusable and not user friendly.

My suggestion for Google is that RSS news feed entries have to Link to the original post. The link to the post is normally provided in the feed.
