It is shown to almost every intro to psych class out there. I like the message on this video though, clever use of a well known phenomenon to get a point across.

I actually had to rewind the actual film and see for myself that the bear was there the first time! I'm amazed everytime.

The original was created (and copywrited) in 1999. I think I first saw it in 2000.
