»» WARNING: THIS CHANNEL WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD (and your childhood) FOREVER «« ► Hello there! My name is Jon Solo! Every week I break down the Messed Up Origins™ of your favorite myths and fairytales from childhood! Did you know that every country has their own version of Cinderella? Or that Pinocchio was killed at the end of his original story? It's true! And you can learn ALL about that and more here on the channel. From Little Red Riding Hood cannibalizing her grandmother to Zeus's hundredth love affair, NOTHING is off limits! My goal is to not only spread awareness about these tales, but also educate viewers on their importance and why humans around the world have all been telling the same stories for thousands of years.
