(4) YA Lonely, morbidly obese teen Butter e-announces that he will webcast his eating himself to death on New Year's Eve. But as Butter's website gains followers, he experiences a sudden surge in apparent popularity, which causes him to reexamine the plan. Though Butter's voice is an interesting mixture of anger, hopelessness, and wit, the plot feels forced and the resolution overly didactic.
