This question is commonly asked. The best answer is a page at the  
UCLA Stata site, here:

These kinds of bar graphs have also been called dynamite plots in  
addition to detonator plots. They are very common in social and also  
biological and medical sciences. Despite statisticians' best wishes,  
they are not going away soon.

Not to braid threads, but note the striping...
