Marilyn Manson Brasil
About
Mechanical Christ BR (sometimes referred as MCBR) is a brazilian fan-site regarding Marilyn Manson and all things related. It is the most complete resource of information in Brazil, with many sections, such as Discography, Videography, Photo Gallery with more than 4,000 pics and much more.
Creation
Brazil already had some other fan-sites, but none of them as successful as Mechanical Christ BR. In late 2007, joint owner, Carry Culkin, came up with the idea to create a new fan-site, as in Brazil, Manson doesn't have the media attention that he deserves, and the band has a large fanbase in the country. On March 15, 2008 the site was launched and since then, it has since undergone 3 modifications, with the definitive layout and content being launched on April, 2009 and the site being recognized by Universal Music in Brazil.
Staff
Today, the staff are: Carry Culkin (being the creator), Heather Quick (responsible for the news, translation, pictures, biographies, downloads and edition of the videos), Nina Bogo (pictures, biographies, downloads, edition of the videos and translation) and Lígia Freiberger (translation). Site collaborator, Fred Addams, also assists with translations.
Translation
On of the main focus of the site is the translation. Many brazilian fans do not have the ability of understand English, so, with that, MCBR started to translate all the articles from the website Nachtkabarett, as well video interviews - uploaded on Youtube - to help Brazilian fans to comprehend Manson's work.
