Micro-blog became an important media for people’s daily communication, people through the micro-blog to convey information, to express feelings, to express the views and positions of their own. Western scholars of Frankfurt put forward "bullshit" theory which is the essence of ignoring the truth, so it is more terrible than lie, because the lie notice the truth. Using this theory, we can find that a lot of micro-blog celebrity speeches involve "bullshit". The public take a tolerant attitude, so it is necessary to make some researches on micro-blog celebrity’s "bullshit". We must take a more rational attitude to this social phenomenon.This paper mainly uses literature analysis and text analysis. In the introduction part, it briefly analyses the background of "bullshit" theory and Mo Yan won the Nobel prize for literature.

The scattered information is a waste of time and energy. It grows the inertia of protracted custom and has a bad effect on youth’s value and outlook on life. Fuzzy truth can not restore the truth. On the other hand, micro-blog celebrity’s "bullshit" has a certain extent to release the personality. The unique expression breaks the highly politicized and centralized language which is formed by the traditional media. Also it can narrow the distance between celebrities and the pubic."Bullshit" is a true picture of the social reality, it can extend the public expression of discourse pattern.
