Embedded Youtube video in a Ruby on Rails page

New to programming. I am trying to embed a YouTube video from a link stored in a database named "Promoter" into a ruby-on-rails page (.erb). I've looked at the source the code turns out, but the object video player does not appear (on heroku here: http://blazing-mountain-574.heroku.com/).

The code in the home.html.erb file:

 <h1>Pages#home</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/pages/home.html.erb</p>
<object width="640" height="385">
<param name="movie" value="<%= sanitize Promoter.first.link %>">
</param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param
><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="<%= sanitize Promoter.first.link %>" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"    width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Is there something real simple that I'm missing?

Have you tried to actually look what links in youtube embeddable code look like? Go to the video you're trying to embed and push 'embed' button.
You have
