'You sit on a throne of lies'! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I came across this scene from the film Elf (2003), where Buddy (Will Ferrell), a man raised as an elf at the North Pole, is sent to the USA to search for his true identity.

Among the things he finds out is that a department store Santa isn't the real one. This so disgusts him that he publically denounces this fake Santa, including telling him 'You sit on a throne of lies', found at 0.49 in the clip I've given the link to:

This makes me laugh, because it makes me think of an elf in Middle-earth denouncing Sauron with the same phrase.

What do people think?

So the secret is out. Sauron is again posing as Annatar.

You may be right; but perhaps that's all Sauron can do, thanks to the destruction of the Ring. He has been reduced to a department store Santa.
