Hi, i’ve got this error in sidekiq
```
Jobs::HandledExceptionWrapper: Wrapped ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PG::StringDataRightTruncation: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(255) : INSERT INTO "topic_embeds" ("content_sha1"...
```
It seems it happens because of length of url in ‘static site’ where embeded comments over 255 characters. And i have no way to change routes in legacy site. [I read that urls may be much longer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url-in-different-browsers). May be we can increse `embed_url` length up to for example 1000-2000 characters?
Thanks.

@zogstrip I saw this in our logs as well, we should extend it as it is path + querystring.
