'Jackass, 'Eye' detained in Canada
Chester County "Jackass' Bam Margera and South Philly boxing promoter Joey "Eye" Intrieri were detained Saturday in Montreal by customs officials who recognized Margera, and for some reason thought Joey Eye was on MTV's "Jersey Shore."
"We probably looked like the most unsavory characters on the plane. He looked like the Unabomber with a hoodie with the hood up and sunglasses and I had a cut-off T-shirt with all my tattoos showing," Joey Eye told us.
Agents said "You guys are on the same channel, MTV," Joey says, and he asked what they were talking about. "You're from the 'Jersey Shore,' " he was told.
Offended, Joey Eye started yelling at customs agents, saying "That's an insult. Those people are idiots." Margera confirmed for the agents that Joey Eye, 41, was not part of the "Jersey Shore" cast.
The two were eventually released and shared a laugh about the incident before parting ways. Joey Eye was in Montreal serving as cutman for South Philly's "Hammerin' " Hank Lundy who defeated Omri Lowther in a fight that was aired on ESPN2.
