"You've got balls!" While it may appear to be an insult, it's really a grudging compliment -- an off-color testament to a person's confidence, fearlessness and take-no-prisoners approach to life.


To mark the premiere of its uncensored and very "ballsy" new sketch comedy series, The Whitest Kids U' Know, the IFC cable network asked Americans a direct and unprecedented question -- to name the politicians, political pundits and entertainment stars they think have the most major cojones...and those who are most in need of more testosterone in their public lives!


The Whitest Kids U' Know is a new, 10-episode, weekly sketch comedy series airing on IFC at 11pm. The five young members of the troupe offer a fresh, balls-out take on politics, gender relations and pop culture, in a style reminiscent of comedy classics like The Kids in the Hall and Monty Python, in completely uncensored, commercial-free half-hour episodes. Preview sketches from the series can now be seen at www.ifctv.com.
