AVOID THE POTHOLES: The 'Papa Road' videogame is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the deplorable state of Paraguay's roads.

ASUNCION: When he rides in the real thing, the pope just smiles and waves. In this videogame, the holy father dodges killer potholes and other obstacles as he drives the popemobile. 

Papa Road – Papa means pope in Spanish – is the brainchild of young Paraguayans who got the idea as their capital city prepares to host the pontiff starting July 10 as part of a tour of South America.
