I would guess the locations are scrambled because the London Olympics have been 
litigous bastards to people who use more than two of the words London, 
Olympic, 2012, or stadium in the same sentence.

Presumably a dig at the ongoing sporting event that can only be mentioned
in name by corporate sponsors. Likewise London and 2012 are only to be
officially used by those that have paid for the privilege.

Attendees wearing shoes that aren't Adidas branded probably won't be
asked to go barefoot into the stadium. Nobody is welcome if arriving in an
Audi, however.

 I don't understand it.

The picture doesn't look like digital image at all. More like an aquarelle
painting.
