Rorschach's Journal Revealed

Well you did well with the last one, Geekanerds, so tell me... What can you do with the latest:

"GET CZAR DEN SKY TO CONTACT ME"

Let's see some sleuthing in the comments section.

UPDATE: While I was flipping through my copy of Watchmen like an idiot, commenter Dan rolled out of bed, sighed at my incompetence and decoded it for all of us without batting an eye. The name we're looking for is Zack Snyder, director of Watchmen. Which means... what? That this is a mere fansite and the owner is looking to get official (re: paid)? I'm going to assume that's the case for now...

UPDATE: We've gotten a reaction from Michael Regina (of theonering.net, the folks who are behind the site) confirming our assumption, saying it's "not to get 'paid' as you put it. But to set something up official. Works better when director is behind me (as opposed to asses at studios)." Hope he has some luck, I like how he was running things. Oh, and in regards to the "Weatherbee" mistake or shoutout, he says "Ohhhh...can't say :) I love to confuse .RR." Fair enough, Mr. Regina. Fair enough.

Rorschach's Journal Update: Regina Reveals...

...Nothing. When asked about the nature of Rorschach's Journal, Michael Regina (Editor-in-Chief of theonering.net, which is behind R's J) wouldn't confirm if it was an official viral marketing site or just some fan fun, instead giving us the cryptic: "Not sure, [Rorschach] just arrived one day asking for help setting up a website." That's a pretty funny image. Correspondence is continuing, we'll keep you posted if anything develops.

Also, the new Morse Code message on the site reads: "SAW GREBERID AND YZJEPCSKU 40.754950073.988058 AN AFFAIR PERHAPS" I don't have my copy of Watchmen in front of me, but does anyone know what the heck those numbers mean?

UPDATE from AHR: Thanks to Geekanerd commenters Dan and Anonymous for pointing out these numbers are in fact co-ordinates that lead to a location on 7th Ave ad 40th street, NYC. Although I originally speculated they were pointing to Midtown Comics, Geekanerd's super-secret contact at Midtown (who also happens to be a shadowy figure behind Pop Culture Shock) said that the co-ordinates are more likely referring to the location of The Gunga Diner, a restaurant Rorschach visits in Chapter 5, page 11. On that page, Rorschach's narration reads: "On fortieth and seventh, saw Dreiberg and Juspeczyk leaving diner. They didn't know me. An affair perhaps?"
