Default #2 Cylinder dead. Found out why. What would cause this to happen?

I pulled out the plugs and the plug in the #2 cylinder looked like this. What could cause this to happen?

All of these plugs are only about 3 months old. I dont want to put a new plug in there if the same thing will happen again.

You MUST provide all pertinent information about your car and engine. Failure to do so may result in thread closure.

That looks like major oil fouling...

Other plugs look fine. They are all only a couple months old. I burn oil really bad. I have put in a quart every week.
