What do you expect when you waste electricity viewing professional sports?
There's a reason the biggest hype of the event are the "extra fancy" commercial breaks.
Next time - watch a movie.

 Wow ... you actually said that without the slightest awareness of the irony!

Perhaps, then, you should enlighten me.
Or let me squander what remains of my existence in blissful ignorance. That, too, has merit.

Were you forced to watch or did you choose to?

I chose to watch the game. I did some other stuff in the half-time interval but needed to hear the 'music' to know when to return to a watching position for the 2nd half. So listen, not watch. I'm not that self flagellating!

So you were the dumb ass that watched for 4 hours. 
|
|
|

At least I only took in the game. There are no doubt millions who watched the preview, the build-up, the pre-game ceremonies, and the post-game on-field celebrations and trophy awarding; 6 - 8 hours!
The last hour or so was like a horror movie. You watch through your fingers but you just can't leave!

Good anthem (even if I'm not American or a Gaga fan)
Good 1/2 half.
Good 1/2 time show (contrary to you I prefer Coldplay to Bruno Mars, and don't mind Beyonce).
We, GF and I swapped channels all evening.
I'd rather be phishing!

Preferring one horrible thing to another truly terrible thing is not a compliment! I prefer being stung by a wasp to being eaten by a shark, for example!

Regular readers may remember that I use Search Lotto (UK only I believe) as my search provider, for each 25 searches you make they give you a twentieth of a lottery ticket, they use Yahoo for the actual searching I think.
It started paying off on the 11th December 2014 when I won 16 pence which they promptly paid into my bank account. Just one week later I won a further 20 pence, then a month after that a whopping 51 pence. Things quietened down until July when I won 30 pence swiftly followed a week later by a further 35 pence.
Nothing since then though.
Until now!
Six pounds and ninety five pence is on its way to me.

I thought USians occasionally use "Penny/Pennies" to mean "Cent/Cents"?

The USians use pennies as the plural of penny, not pence.
Yet another way in which we are divided by a common language. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It's the newfangled decimal penny; I can't see them catching on.

Have you considered using Microsoft Web Test Recorder or other web recording software you can play back against it?

A while back (2003), I used iWon.com to search for things. It used Ask Jeeves, I believe. Collect points, get lottery tickets. Daily prize was $100. Weekend prize was $1,000. Monthly prize was $10,000. Annual prize was $1,000,000. I won the weekend prize once. After six years, they cancelled it and they donated your prize to a charity of your choice. So I quit playing.
