F.A.R.T.S stands for Forced ARTificial Scarcity. It is a term introduced by David Wong in his article on cracked.com (5 Reasons The Future Will Be Ruled By B.S.), describing the creation of an illusion of scarcity of mostly, but not limited to, goods.
It could also be defined as paying for something you would naturally get for free.
One way of achieving this is arbitrarily restricting goods or claiming their scarcity to the public - as is often done in adverts. A method often employed by big companies to scare rednecks into buying stuff.
Limited editions, collectors editions, band merchandise...all FARTS.

"Advertiser: We're gonna add another quarter. This is unbelieveable. That's 2 quarters and a book for only 19,95. People we only have 7 left.
Redneck:Holy shit they only have 7 left ! Honey get into the car I'm gonna dial the number, hurry !

Fart: A regular, ordinary air biscuit. Isn't too loud, and doesn't stink that much.
The Ninja: A classic example of the phrase silent but deadly. Is almost entirely inaudible but has an ungodly stink.
TNT: A loud but not too stinky fart.
Nuclear Bomb: A jack-of-all-trades fart, stinks really bad and is also VERY loud. The worst ones to accidentally let loose.
The "Taking A Dump" Fart: Self-explanatory.
The "Taking A Dump" Nuclear Bomb: A rare kind of toilet fart. Acts likes a Nuclear Bomb. The leading cause of public bathroom embarrassment.
The Shart: An average shart (a fart which contains crap).
The Volcano: A powerful kind of shart. Can also be mistaken for a TNT, but the shit may be so violently released that it can escape your underpants, causing extra embarrassment.
Krakatoa: A loud and very powerful shart. If you get this, go see a doctor because you probably have diarrhea.
The Trampoline: Very loud, but with zero stench. The force , however, is strong enough to launch yourself forward a bit. Usually caused by comfort foods that produce a lot of dense gases.
Shit-Flavoured-Air: The most ungodly stench known to man. A chemical weapon more toxic than Sarin. The clearer of rooms everywhere. The origin of humanity's concept of demons. A fart that is silent, but is so stinky that being in the presence of it for too long can make you lose your lunch. Essentially the opposite of The Trampoline.
