why did south park almost kill kyle in season 5?

in the fifth season of south park, co-creators matt stone and trey parker made the difficult decision to kill off one of the four main characters—kenny mccormick. however, the real "difficult decision" truly laid within WHO they wanted to kill, not IF. here's why south park nearly killed off kyle broflovski from the show for good. (I SWEAR I WILL ONE DAY GET BETTER EDITING SOFTWARE!!! I SWEAR!!!!!) ——————————————————— “South Park” is owned by Paramount Global. I claim no ownership over it whatsoever. ——————————————————— ►ALL background music featured in this video is by KoyiK on YouTube!    / @koyik1078   thx for watching :]
