I have no idea what this is. I was invited by a friend to the OMBEY Facebook page and the only information available there was “To raise awareness”. I’m intrigued. [Link]

new blog !! seems like NIQAB for me
Spotted a sticker on a garbage can by sliders. My friend said he saw one by Raya also.
For those who don’t get it, here’s the original https://tinyurl.com/5r78m8z
This poster is slapped on walls in random places all over the States. It just reminds people that ‘big brother’ is always watching. I think…
that one is OBEY not OMBEY, maybe it’s the kuwaiti version of what u r talking abt…
Lol Im aware of that.. I was talking about the ‘original’ one.
Obviously you genius.
Is this Salwa Al-Mutari’s website?
LOL
Salwa doesn’t have the creativity or the brains to do such a thing! She’s too busy making up lies and making up BS
where’s the creativity? It’s an imitation (see two posts above)
It’s obvious it’s inspired from OBEY, so yeah its an imitation but the good kind. Here are other examples:

Mark, just watch a film called “exit through the gift shop” and it will all make sense.
What will make sense, OBEY or OMBEY?
OBEY and the whole Andrew the Giant thing will make sense.
OMbey is a clever twist on it. OM as in the Arabic for Mother 🙂
I meant Andre the Giant 🙂
Ombey is word Kuwaiti women use, its hard to translate its exact meaning, but close to saying “Oh no!”
ombey.com is under construction
Looks like two ladies with burqhas.
flying saucer landing on a twin peaked building?
The logo looks like the lead singer from Rush. The nose and hairdo are exactly the same.
A sense of humor is required.
Their facebook page isn’t clear
yes it reminded me immediately of Salwa almutairai and it’s an imitation to “Obey”! I was not sure what awareness they were raising ? what is the connection between the Bedweena with the burqa and the big political slogan of “don’t steal and don’t be afraid ” got to do with it ? is it directed to a certain ethnic group ? or is it just a high schooler graphic design project which got too much praise ? if so it might succeed because our teenagers are ignorant and not very well informed about many issues specially related to freedoms and politics. Sorry but I couldn’t get myself to click the like it button because it lacked motive!
Form follows function and not visa versa!

Olympique de Marseille Beyrouth? 😛
Ombey is a remake of the original “Obey”, same artist who did Obama’s famous poster…
Ombey means oh now in Kuwaiti (:
I mean OHH NO or not again or so etc.
The logo is either a woman in a full burka or her top has ridden up too far and she is flashing her nipples.
There is also a remote chance cousin It from the Adams family bought some new sunglasses.
