    Are those URLs in the referrer field ?

    It's very strange. It almost looks like an attempted spam but it's broken. I'm pretty sure it's not a hacking attempt but I'll need to see the actual access logs or at least get some more information about where these URLs are before I can be certain.

    As far as I know (saw on my directories too) this can be from automated directories submission softwares, not very sure but in same cases (from my experience) I found someone using this.

    Hello, this is WebSense. If it believes a link may not be acceptable for viewing at work the user is presented with the option of saving it to a list of later viewing.

    This is explained in this article : http://techzog.com/seo/referrals-from-blockoptions-cgi-google-analytics/. It is basically your visitors being blocked by a Websense filter in their organization.
