I sometimes do this, but then I'll do it with premium hands too. "AA wins again!" Not intended to influence the SB one way or the other.

If I did want to influence the SB, I would try to determine if he was folding too much or calling too much, then steer him to the extreme one way or the other (call all the time or fold all the time.) If he's calling too much but folding occasionally, I might show a bad hand to try to get him to call all the time. But how often would this strategy be profitable in a full ring game? The only time I would think to do this is in a HU or short-handed, like in a SNG. I don't really think about it, maybe because in live play I'm a chopper. Oh well....something to think about.
