Yelled at your child, feeling guilty?

Well, you've got nothing on THESE parents (via Mental Floss's Top Bad Parents):

1. When the movie Anatomy of a Murder came out, Jimmy Stewart’s dad was so upset by the content that he took an ad out in the newspaper imploring people to avoid his son’s filthy movie.

2. Mickey Hart, the drummer for the Grateful Dead, got his dad hired on as the band’s manager when the band was just starting out. The problem? Lenny Hart stole thousands of dollars from the then-struggling group. There was no love lost after he was fired: “He was an absolute rotten human being,” Mickey said when his father died.

3. Stephen King’s dad pulled the cliché “I’m going for cigarettes” move when Stephen was two and never came back.
