Darkness at 3AM: An everyday story of country folk

The 3AM Girls wrote this, and then someone put it in the once-proud Daily Mirror:

She wants to move to the country but Sarah Harding showed rural Girls are Aloud to look great too as she stepped out with her fella, DJ Tom Crane.

The weak pun is par for the course, but since when did "wanting" to move to the country mean you were rural? Surely a desire to move to the countryside would mean, by definition, you currently had to be urban?
