Assuming you're referring to the "The End is Near" sign, that isn't a Watchmen reference, it's a generic reference. That's been a cliche in popular culture since long before Watchmen.
Almost certainly the generic pop culture image. I really, really doubt he was specifically referencing a not-that-memorable bit from Watchmen. Even with his being a huge comic fan. He and Alan Moore almost certainly took the image from the same place, which is just pop culture.
@cauchamar You have a good chance of being right, but Smith just likes to throw that kind of stuff in there all over the place. He used the modern "near" rather than the more archaic "nigh," which supports your argument. I'd say he has about a 20%-30% chance of being more specific than generic, but I'm not him, so I don't know. Even if he was being generic, who's to say the comic didn't influence him to put it in a little more than he otherwise would have?
"insert movie for shameless plug"...Kevin Smith was on KROQ saying "he made Jersey Girl to pay a mortgage" -we forgive you man. We know where your loyalties lie

This is my final comment as I haven't the time,unlike you to sit at the computer all day long dishing out negative comments.
The Foundations were not one hit wonders as they had other huge hits such as...'Baby,now that I've found you''Bad bad old days' and 'Back on my feet again'plus a few top 40 hits.
Lighten up man,I really do think you should get out more...
This great song was originally recorded by The Foundations and was No.1 all over the world except the UK where it reached No.2 The Foundations were...Alan Warner (Guitar/Backing vocals), Colin Young (Lead Vocal), Tony Gomez (Keyboards/Backing vocals), Pete Macbeth (Bass/Backing vocals),Tim Harris (Drums), Eric Allendale (Trombone) and Pat Burke (Saxophone).

@cauchamar I know that, but with Smith being as big of a comic fan as he is, I wouldn't dismiss it as that.
