Six Volt Battery = 32 AA batteries?

I was surfing the net a little today and came across this video..

Now my electronics background was an 8 month stint selling batteries and what not at radio shack and that hasn't done much for me. For those of you who can't see the video it shows a person prying the top off of a 6V lantern battery revealing 32 AA cells inside. Considering that a 6V lantern battery costs $5 and that you can buy it at your neighborhood x-mart, five and dime or whateverhaveyou it's cheap and convenient.

Now.. are these TRULY AA batteries ? Doing the math 32 1.5v batteries in sequence wouldn't make 6 volts but I figure I'm missing another factor such as amperage or something. Is this video true or did I just get spoofed by the interwebs?
