why the heck did they kill him and bring him back 2 episodes later... pretty lame

South Park used to kill Kenny every episode.  It was all part of the storyline.  That's why the seeds were planted in his death episode.  Hell, Stewie AND Brian died going to Vegas earlier this season.  Death means nothing in cartoons.

South Park did kill Kenny off "for real" in the episode Kenny dies. They kept him dead for a whole year before bringing him back but in Kenny's case I don't think it was done for shock value or to get more viewers. I think Matt and Trey got tired of having to kill him and leaving him dead allowed them to break out of this pattern.
