This would make an interesting discussion point during a lesson on bar graphs, but I would advise not to take it further. This type of graph is misleading as a greater emphasis is placed on the area formed by the pop-out bars, rather than the heights alone.
The media (amongst others) use misleading graphs and we teach students to analyse them so that they can try and see the true message. It would be wrong therefore to teach students to create misleading graphs.
