Fahgetaboutit lock

I have just bought some new bike locks as I'm trying to lock my new bike up like Fort Knox as I have to leave it in a car park while at work. I Have bought:
A 150cm Fahgetaboutit chain & Disc Lock
A 100cm New York Chain & Ev Series 4 Disc Lock
A New York 300 U-lock
but I have just seen a rather worrying video here:

...of a Fahgetaboutit Chain being cropped. This is confusing as it has passed sold secure gold and a whole boatload of other tests. My sneaky suspision is that they only crack them because they cheat, by always taking the disc lock off so they can have a go at the exposed link at the end, but its difficult to see. Have a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks

because people carry bolt cutters that large around with them, even if they did he still makes a scene doing it0

and? most bike i have seen locked up all you need is a 5mm allen key to take most of the bike away.
if a theif is going to take some thing they will.
which is way i say save the money on the locks and buy a rat bike for comuting.
