 The second division of FAB is the FAB Ratings System.Originally developed by Elayne Blythe in four categories ("L", "V", "N" and "S", for (respectively) Language, Violence, Nudity and Sex), the present system was developed in 1988 at the request of independent film makers and distributors as an alternative to the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system.The FAB ratings system is intended to be less costly and more informative than the MPAA's system.
