The Panty Raiders, consists of Leba Haber Rubinoff and Katie Marsh, two women who created the well known website [http://www.forgetmenotpanties.com/ forget-me-not panties] in 2005. The website was created, not as a hoax, but rather as an entry into Contagious Media Showdown's contest to see which purpose-built website could spark the most viral interest over a three-week period. Haber Rubinoff and Marsh, saw the contest and website as a venue to raise awareness and discussion about gender. They were not expected to win, but their work was picked up by FARK, the College Humor blog and other sites, leading to more than 600,000 sites during the contest period and one million hits in the six months between May and November 2005.
