Chubby Cup Cake Boy

In 2008 Sam Allred's video of him singing the cuppy cake song become quite the YouTube sensation, with everyone referring to him as "the very cute and chubby boy on the internet." As cute and funny as it was people did begin to wonder if it was normal for such a young boy to be so overweight and if he did have a genuine problem, turns out he does have a rare kidney disease which really makes you wonder if the parents put this video up, why would you do such a thing, leaving him open to such negative comments?! For the fame possibly? Maybe to help gain exposure for his disease? Either way it does seem a bit of a crazy way to spread the word about his rare condition. However, there has been a positive from this, now at the age of 13, Sam has written a book to help other people who may be battling with the disease also. Just goes to show what a crazy world we live in and the lengths people are willing to go to, to get their 15 minutes of fame!
