Sure. With everything else going on, there's no way Kenny's death could be interesting, so you might as well go the mundane and random route.

Besides... that being the second worst South park episode (next to the April Fool's show), they might as well burn their worst "kill Kenny" idea in an already bad show!

I think you missed the point. With Kenny getting killed all the time through things happening around him ( i.e. Mr Garrison shoting at Kathy Lee, a runaway go-kart, etc.), you probably expected him to get off-ed by Mecha-Striesand. The fact that he went and got himself killed by playing tether-ball, a totally innocent kids game, is the irony. The only thing mundane around here is the posting of random garbage by people who shouldn't play with a sharp stick, let alone a computer.

        While I agree that the method of offing young
Kenneth was very well thought out and ironic (as you
state above), I also think that the problem that most
people have with this scene is it's length (or lack thereof).
        If they would have had him hit the ball back and
forth once or twice and THEN have it strangle him, then
it would have been twice as funny. But the fact that he
walked up to it, hit the ball once, and it swings around and
strangles him ALL in 2.5 seconds makes it seem more or
less forgettable.

Just my $.02 worth.

As stupid as thsi sounds, thats what I thought all alone. He knew he'd have to
die, so he did that. He didn't even bother to get out of the way when he saw it
coming. Another nugget of proof to my theory of Kenny's deaths.
