Wait...how do you flip a pancake again?

I love commercials for little gadgets that will make my life easier. (I know I'm contradicting my profile, but these commercials are darn funny!) Here is one of my own:

Narrator: Going to get your mail is such a hassle.
Woman walks out of house carrying her brief case, car keys, cell phone, purse, and filing cabinet. While walking down the two steps from her porch she trips and everything lands on the ground. She shakes her head in frustration, climbs over her pile of things she needs with her to check the mail, scraping her foot in the process, and finally makes it to the mail box. When she gets there, the door is stuck and she has to yank on it three or four time to get it to open. When she finally does get it open the mail (consisting of three packages, a newspaper, various envelopes, and a filing cabinent) flies out onto the ground. The envelopes start blowing away, while the woman's dog (who just entered the picture) starts eating one of the packages. As she chases after her mail we hear:
Narrator: Don't let this ever happen to you again! Get MAILTOME!
Unfrazzeled women standing at mailbox with a box that has two hair cilps attached to the side with yarn. Women attaches clips to the side of the mailbox and pulls. Mail falls into box.
Narrator: With MAILTOME, you will never have trouble getting the mail again. Say goodbye to flying mail. Only $19.95! plus 10.95 shipping and handling. Act now and you will recieve, not one but two MAILTOMEs. As a special offer, call in the next ten minutes and you will get this sturdy three inch flashlight for those late night mail runs. Call now!

What do you guys think?
*Disclaimer* MAILTOME is not a real product. I just made it up. But if anyone makes it after this and gets rich, I'll be pretty put out. But I may buy one for those really windy days.*
