I'd be inclined to use FILEALIAS to seperate those entries out in the 
Request Report.

FILEALIAS /index.cfm?content=story.cfm* story.cfm$1
FILEALIAS /index.cfm?content=include/event_calendar_site.cfm* 
calendar.cfm$1

(I'm assuming that the http://bnn.... part isn't in your log file. If it 
is, you can just put * before the /index.cfm part)

If you don't care about the additional parameters after the &, you can 
leave the $1 out.
