Oh No They Didn't! TOO FUNNY

So that's where Kraftwerk went since the 80s...

I'm pretty sure it's pronounced 'Noytraface' as in the German Neue. Well that's how Rich Roat pronounced it when I spoke to him.

I'm almost too embarassed to admit that I had to Google Rich Roat. :|

You are correct, Nick. The video is posted on YouTube, where the makers explain that they did not know the correct pronunciation of "Neutra" when they made their parody: " 'NEUTRA' is actually pronounced 'NOY-trah', but that escaped our knowledge in the throws [sic] of fun we were having doing this project. Word."

I'm also not sure they fully understand the concept of am em-space when they say Futura's is "too wide". Gotta commend them for the amount of effort they put in to it though; definitely one of the most elaborate examples of type nerd humor that I've seen.
