Behind The Meme of the Day: British teen Heidi Crowter’s toddler face was immortalized as “I can count to potato” girl in 2009, when her photo was “stolen from a website for a parents’ support group” for children with Down syndrome. Heidi, now 16, and her family were unaware of her Internet fame until last fall; Heidi, to no one’s surprise, is “very upset.”

Now Heidi’s mom, Liz, and a small army of friends are lashing out against sites like Facebook, where the image has been used to mock not only Heidi, but disabled people in general.

“These trolls are cowardly, nasty people who should be punished for the damage they are doing to people with their comments,” Liz said this week. “Heidi has told me she is very upset by the sites and she turns her head away when we have them on the computer screen.”

And how has the Internet responded? By creating a new meme, naturally.
